   A well written story
The book was very well written and the story was highly compelling, I just didn’t like the actual story of the book. Sally Rooney was trying too hard to make me depressed.

   solid literary fiction pick
very unique writing style from one of the most promising current authors. better than conversations with friends, and ties in Rooney’s anti-capitalist views more seamlessly. would recommend for those who are looking for literary fiction recs

   Normal People Review
This book is great, but not for everyone. I loved it! It’s good if you’re the type of person that can appreciate and find the beauty in what could appear to be mundane to some. If you were to ask me what this book is about I would first respond with: “nothing” because it is truly just following the lives of the two main characters who aren’t living under any extreme circumstances. But I would also tell you about the beauty in Marianne and Connell’s intimate connection and how it makes for an amazingly raw story. If you’re an untraditional romantic, this book is for you :)

I love this book. I have seen the mini series many times. I decided to read it. I read the first three chapters while cooking dinner. It's not a hard read, it's enjoyable. If you like the mini series, you will like the book. As the reader, you have more insight into the aspects of Connell and Marianne that have more depth. Books are usually better than movies. I think they are both equal. I have more to digest. I haven't arrived in Sweden yet. The plan is to not watch the show until I have read all the books and then watch again. I would like to see more of Connell and Marianne. Sally Rooney will give me more.

   Punctuation Needed
I wanted to read a lot, but the lack of punctuation makes it hard to read. It's hard to follow someone who is saying what without quotes. I know it is the writer's perogative to take "poetic license" but for me it has gone too far. I prefer Page numbers over location numbers when reading on a device. When I read it on my iPad, the page numbers are there but not on the device. It was very strange.
