mybookworldtour 's review for:

Normal People by Sally Rooney
3.0

I enjoyed this book, and I read it in one sitting. I got "One Day" by David Nicholls vibes, so if you liked that book, this is a perfect pick for you!

It touches on important subjects and describes the social inequalities and inland regional differences in Ireland nicely. Although some scenes are 5-star worthy, characters sticking to old and problematic behaviors all the way to the last page of the book put me off (which I am sure was the author's intent, but it was just too frustrating for me as a reader).

Ultimately, I don't have strong feelings about it: it's a nice, short, and light read.
