I know a lot of people hate the book for the miscommunication between Connell and Marianne but it is the one of the most realistic depictions of “young” miscommunication and navigating being misunderstood. Will love the book and show 4ever.

Exploration into "Normal People" by Sally Rooney in the format of the beloved Hulu original series. Gorgeous writing and a must-read for fans of the book or show.

Got The Scripts for Christmas. Absolutely loved reading it. I could picture the tv show in my head and knew exactly what each scene looked like. If I were to read it again, I’d read it and watch the tv show at the same time.
