NORMAL PEOPLE

Normal People by Sally Rooney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Completely engrossing and worthy of its hype, if not for working and sleeping, this would be a one-sitting read. It snags it’s tension from readers’ concern over whether these two characters can be with each other without hurting each other, and then whether that is the goal at all. Anyone who has ever claimed another human as “home” will find something to relate to in these flawed-but-well-meaning characters.
