A review by allymute
Normal People by Sally Rooney

5.0

Many critics have considered this book a contemporary zeitgeist, and I think that's a really valid statement. All though the book can be pretty relatable to younger people, Rooney has a talent for writing about the and mental strategy and acuteness that go into presenting yourself socially and in personal relationships. The book is definitely intense at times, but it's an intensity that is super resonate, particularly with younger people. Bringing in dynamics of socioeconomic class and privilege makes class consciousness a critical factor that I think people in their 20s and 30s are in tune with more so than other generations I definitely recommend this book, it's so good!!
