This book put me in a reading slump for all of April and I’ll never forgive it for that. I truly hope Normal People is better cause I’ve already bought the book 🫠 I understand the hype around this book but not sure if I really enjoyed it. The smut was so random but lowkey the best part of the book LOL. I don’t think the author did a great job at describing the physical characteristics of the characters because I never really had a clear picture of what any of them looked like, except for Simon, who I pictured as a combo of Ed Speelers and Ansel Elgort (except blonde). Also Felix… literally what was the point of having him in this novel. He was giving nothingggg. Dude needs to go to a therapist, but then don’t we all 🤣

Overall was a meh book for me…
