Not sure what I expected but this was a yawn fest. This really isn’t my type of novel (coming of age type) so the review feels unfair. I solely picked up this book because I loved “normal people” (the movie, didn’t read the book).
These characters seem juvenile and I didn’t care about them. Can’t think of the last book where I cared this little about ALL the characters.
Writing style is fine. Not sure if the book was trying to get into philosophy or be erotic. At some points, it felt a story a new writer would put together. Not a fan of Rooney - first and last book.
