A review by alalpaca
Нормальні люди by Sally Rooney
2.0
Normal People, huh. This book is like a sparkler. You start reading it and you can't take your eyes off it until it burns out. Unfortunately, this is the only thing I can consider positive in this book.
The plot clearly does not take central stage in this book. It is almost non-existent, nonetheless. Main focus of the story is on the two main characters and the relationship between them. And oh boy, how problematic that relationship is. When will the romanticization of the painful attachment of two people with a lot of issues end in books? The main characters need therapy, not a book about them.
P.S. Dialogues without punctuation are a new type of torture.
