maddiechristine15 's review for:

Normal People by Sally Rooney
5.0
dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
I know I’m late to the party, but wow. I was immediately sucked into this book and became as enmeshed with these characters as they are with one another. Sally Rooney built a world in which the people are extremely flawed, yes, but so very real. I know Rooney has said she writes through a Marxist lens, and that is clear; her exploration of social class and capitalism through these characters adds a whole other layer of depth and complexity. I am just like other girls !!! 5 stars!!!
