"Normal people" I still don't get the reason for the title. Marianne and Cornell wanted to be normal people but everything they put themselves through is not normal. I don't understand the hype of the book but it did keep me intrigued to find out what happened but I was also confused a lot of the time, the back and forth, in between the story. Ending is exactly what I expected. Anticlimactic

I love this book! It's such a different plot and a very emotional love story. I wish we would have gotten a bit more about Clare at the end but it was a long story already. But I would still recommend to all my friends!
