This was fine? I can hardly critique the prose because I thought it was well written, and I liked the snappy and realistic dialogue between the characters. I know there was also a lot of themes woven into this book, including class difference and economic status, but the heart of it was really how Connell and Marianne often got together and wondered off from each other, only to get back together again. As realistic as this was, Normal People is kind of just about...normal people? And that's really nothing new.
