A review by adisaissupercool
Normal People by Sally Rooney
2.0
Disclaimer: I’m not happy with the book, so please Don’t comment hate and so on because I warned you. This is only my view and my thoughts, Sally Rooney is a great author but this book just wasn’t for me.
I’m gonna keep this short because honestly I have no idea what I just read, everything was so confusing, the time skips made me questions if I was reading the book right or if I just couldn’t remember what was happening, which was both. The story was not memorable, it some factors it was good like how it walked through the abuse that Marianne was facing from her brother, Alan and how she was able to get help from Connell, even if it was in the second last chapter. But in other parts it promoted unhealthy relationships and ways to cope. Such as cheating. I Don’t know if I misread it but I swear this book glorified cheating.
The ending although fast was good, they both got a happy ending and navigated through there troubles that they overcomes, but other then that this book was just a bunch of random memories forced into one book, saying they “connect” somehow then Don’t. The story didn’t get any reaction out of me, every “twist and turn” only got a “that’s it?” Out of me. It was mind-numbing if I am being as honest as I can be.
I Don’t know if I should watch the show or not.
Also I know this is a bit so great review so thanks for being patient with moi <3
