I preferred normal people but I think I enjoyed it more than Conversations with friends because the characters are a little more likeable. They seem quite realistic as well, as they reminded me of people I know and of myself at times. What I dislike is that the female characters in her books are all quite similar (skinny, depressed, fragile, masochistic). I really hope we get to read a novel by Sally rooney about a bold, dominant but good natured female main character.
