Normal People

“Most people go through their whole lives, Marianne thought, without ever really feeling that close with anyone.”

Despite all the good things I have heard about this, I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did.

I can't put into words how real this felt. The characters weren't perfect, they were flawed and made mistakes. They were real. I absolutely loved reading the changes in the characters and how life and experienced shaped them differently. This was like reading a page out of one of my old diaries.

This was such wonderful writing and story-telling. I feel like this book and the characters will be roaming around in my head for a long time to come.

“I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”

This was the first book of Sally Rooney's that I had read and I can wholeheartedly say that it will most definitely not be the last.
