nitroglycerin 's review for:

Normal People by Sally Rooney
4.0

So I enjoyed this more than Conversations with Friends. The writing style is the same, but the characters are much more likeable in this one. It is yet another book that I’ve read recently that touches on the dynamics of relationships, good and bad. Love, misuse, friendship, superficial alliances. The relationship between Marianne and Connell was was great. They were naive and stupid and muddling along. Mariannes other relationships however, were almost disgusting to me. They left me feeling very weird. You wanted to scream at her to stop and get out.
Worth reading if you enjoy books examining very human feelings, issues and relationships.
