so I really loved Conversations With Friends, but Normal People was different - it was good but I wasn’t shocked. The characters are as imperfect as they could be which is nice, I like to see how they feel their feelings. The focus on the relationship between Connell and Marianne is written well and emotional but I feel like not knowing and understanding their motifs after finishing this book? I don’t get it I guess, love for me was always different, my relationship is drastically different from theirs - I couldn’t relate. Which is why this book didn’t hit me. But all in all I live Sally’s writing style and her perception of humans and time - and I will read every other book she publishes forever.
