this is a story about love, in many forms. i liked only one of the characters, everyone else was so unlikable i wanted to punch them in the face (and THAT is what i loved the most about this book). i wasn’t on anyone’s side, because these characters captured the complexity of relationships and feelings and being human so well. everyone was right and everyone was wrong in a lot of ways. i loved normal people by sally rooney, and this book wasn’t what i expected it to be; i’m not disappointed by it, and i’m also not super sure i would read it again.

i dont know what it is about sally rooney's writing that grabs me and wont let go but here we are. a story that involves a few heavy subjects in a more slice of life story progression style, similar to Normal People though this one doesnt jump forward in time so much. i found myself both liking the main character and rooting for her but also wishing i could shake her to snap her out of whatever trance the 'love interest' had with her. but she really feels human in her decision making and thoughts, despite all the people around her being super entitled/hispter-esque, and i feel like she had pretty good character development over the course of the book.

im not going to lie, i do love a story with some good rich people drama. this definitely had a bit of that going on.

An insane attention to detail in otherwise mundane, day-to-day life. Makes you feel like one of the characters; Frances is both relatable and flawed. You couldn’t really love any character and you couldn’t really hate any character either, which I think is a lot like real life.
