I am conflicted in a way about this book. I absolutely devoured it. I read most of it in one sitting just completely absorbed in the characters and their lives.

However the ending was flat. It wasn’t really an ending, just a pause. I flicked the page expecting another chapter and there wasn’t one. Although it only took me two days to read the book, I was invested in the characters, I want to know how it ends for them.

Normal People is exceptionally written, it is a gritty story, no shiny happy love story here. Imperfect people muddling their way through life. The characters are so real, I felt like I could feel what they were feeling. Especially Connell. I just wish I had a little bit more!
