This book was so raw. I truly think there is no better word to describe it. I also found it to be very heavy. Almost frustrating at points. I wanted to reach through the paged and shake sense into them.
It's the kind of book that's making me think and I really appreciate books that do that. I appreciate having this type of perspective in a novel, where it truly is about Normal People. I really love that. I think this will be a book I think about for a long time.
I've never read anything like this. I loved the dialogue and the depth. Rooney did something great here. Though for the life of me I have no idea how they made it into a TV show.
