Normal People

I truly enjoyed Rooney's writing style, I don't know why, it just grabbed me from the first sentences. I will pick up her other works for sure. I also listened to it partly on audio so even when I read it could still hear the Irish accent in my head which only made the experience better.

I took my time with it because there was only so much of those characters I could take on in consistent dose. There were pretty messed up and suffered for it while not doing anything about it. I hate seeing people suffering when their lives could be a little better if they would just tackle their demons. I see a lot of people around me setting themselves on destructive paths just because they're trying to runaway from their feelings and traumas. Life can be so hard even when you're working your way through all of that anyways let alone when you're just making it worse. Watching Marianne and Connel's relationship develop was an uncomfortable experience yet I couldn't break away.
