Normal People

In the beginning I was hooked and thought the book was amazing, but by the middle to the end I felt the writing became lazy.
After Connel's depression arc the tone became much more literal which turned me off. The suggestiveness of the narrator was the charm.
And due to this shift, how Rooney portrayed mental health felt false and un-amusing, like I was reading a YA. And the ending messaging was kindly spelt out for us, which isn't terrible, however it does take away from the reading experience.
Looking back I don't rly feel fond about this book anymore, I wish I hadn't finished it in that sense, but the book was extremely easy to read and I glided through it which I will give due respect. And because of this I had finished it quickly, far quicker than other books, and got me back in the reading mood. I am happy about that, so thank you ms Rooney!
