A review by seaplanegh
Normal People by Sally Rooney
mysterious
reflective
sad
medium-paced
3.5
I liked the way this book was written, the economical writing featuring exquisite details that revealed the characters quite naturally. The dialogue was very natural too and there were multiple points where I loved the way something was written.
It was very reminiscent of the coming of age time. I felt like more events could have happened during the book and I’m dying to read a book next that has a driving plot.. in some ways, this book is the literary version of a will-they-won’t-they TV show relationship so I’m very unsurprised to see it will be a TV show. I don’t think it’ll be one I will watch though.
Interested to read other Sally Rooney books.
