![]() ![]() As I continued to read, my appreciation for the story grew. I spent half this book hating how realistic the relationship between the characters felt and the other half respecting the hell out of Sally Rooney for writing something that captured the difficult trials we all navigate in our personal lives. Then I thought about the last twenty years of my life and realized, oh, yeah, it really is like that. About halfway through Normal People you’ll ask yourself how it is possible for two people who like each other to so horribly miscommunicate this many times. This book emulates what real life relationships can be like - frustrating. ![]() But is there any way forward for two people with such a complicated history? Their social lives have transformed, and although they live drastically different experiences, Connell and Marianne can’t help but be drawn to one another in this new life. Later, Marianne and Connell are both studying at Trinity College Dublin. When a connection forms between the two teenagers, Connell is desperate to keep it hidden from everyone. His mother has a housekeeping jb at Marianne’s house. Connell is well liked in the community and a star on the soccer team. Marianne is unpopular and comes from an affluent family. Marianne and Connell come from the same Irish small town but very different backgrounds. On family vacation I finally had the chance to read it. It is one of those books that I refused to buy because I knew somebody in my life could lend me a copy. ![]() ![]() I know that I am late to the game with Normal People. ![]()
