I wish that I could not relate to Marianne or Connell in this book but sadly I could in their worst ways. The characters in normal people were so relatable and so normal that I had such a strong connection to them. their relationship over the years is not perfect and it’s hard to read at some points because they’re not perfect at all. if I could describe this book in a small amount of words I would say hurt people hurt each by loving one another. this book has a lot of mixed reviews but I truly loved it the style of this book is different than what I’ve read before but I really enjoyed it. I won hundred percent plan on reading more by this author.
