This is the second time I’ve read this book, first at 17 and now. And boy does it hit different. I understand and see things I couldn’t before and it’s just a good book

“All these years they’ve been like two little plants sharing the same plot of soil, growing around one another, contorting to make room, taking certain unlikely positions. But in the end she has done something for him, she’s made a new life possible, and she can always feel good about that.”

normal people was a book that didn't live up to the hype. I didn't enjoy the plot of the characters. I didn't view it as a will they won't they relationship, but instead as a toxic on and off friends with benefits. most of their problems could be avoided, and those that can't weren't necessarily handled well. this is not reminiscent of everyday life and I felt that it was a pretentious take on life. I also found it quite boring.
