I loved getting to learn about the Coast Salish peoples through Sasha's point of view. America is painted so differently when told through an Indigenous perspective; still beautiful, but so much loss. This book is a must read, in my opinion, if you live in the Pacific Northwest. Plus, the cover is gorgeous. 

I first read Normal People in the summer of 2021. I absolutely loved Rooney's writing, her dialogue and her social commentary. The situationship between the two main characters kept me reeling until the end- I was STRESSED. So when I originally finished it, I wasn't stoked, but I continue to think about this book all the time. One day I'll be brave enough for a re-read. <3

Hella funny

The last fifty pages of this book fucking rocked. Baba Yellowlegs is a stupid name. Chaol is a bitch. Dorian is babygirl. Thank the wyrd I'm done with this book.

This book tore me to pieces, yet it helped me understand my own struggles with bipolar depression. I would add this book to any essential YA reading list.
