Normal People was a good book. It was enjoyable but I don’t think as good as everyone made it out to be. Characters were relatable and understandable. No part of the book was slow but I did enjoy the ending more than the beginning and middle. I saw more of why everyone loves it towards the end. Still, I was always wondering when these characters would reunite and it kept me wanting to finish. I did cry at the end.
