A review by lucyski_library
Normal People by Sally Rooney

reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

There was no character development, it seemed like the characters just stayed back and let life go on. I feel like they ended up being more miserable than when their story started. And an open ending just made it seem like the author was too scared of criticism to give it a real ending.
