Things and people moved around me taking positions in obscure hierarchies, participating in systems I didn't know about and never would. A complex network of objects and concepts. You live through certain things before you understand them. You can't always take the analytical position.

This one was a ride. I liked the complexity of the characters especially Frances and Nick, did I sympathize with them tho? Not really. Even with these not so good feelings towards them I did relate to some things that Frances went through.
This was overall a pretty solid book even though sometimes it made me frustrated.

This book is amazing, but not as good as Normal People. The characters are constantly changing and the way it is described of them interacting is beautiful. The writing style truly makes the characters be seen as real, organic individuals. I also love how so many modern issues are brought to light and the representation of queer characters. The relationships that occur throughout the novel are real and not perfect. It’s so good and definitely one of my favorites.

I loved it, of course, it's Sally Rooney, I love everything she writes. I can relate with so many things that happen in this novel. But from all three books I've read from her this is my least favourite. It's still amazing though.
