necrobeata 's review for:

Normal People by Sally Rooney
3.5
dark emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Some observations are great, but there's also so many cliches that it makes it less enjoyable than it could be. The main characters are oh so special and different.. while I know from personal experience that this is how depression and alienation can look like, this is how the narrator (not only the characters) presents the situation - so it feels very snowflake of Sally Rooney.
