Normal People * Waterstones Exclu

 It's the story of Marianne and Connell; two young people growing up Carriclea, a little town in Ireland. Where they live totally diffrent lives, and when they start uni their suroundings changes again. So now we see how they relationship goes up and down and if maybe they can survuve all this.

In general I am more of a plot driven reader. I enjoy the somehat logical and straight line. Without all the sidestuff that has no relevance to the actual storyline. The author does a good job in keeping what is relveant in and most of the unrelevant out. Yet, it is not straight enough.
At times I found myself reading page after page about thing that had bearly any relevance to the actual story.

The caracthers are well written however. They had real problems, not just the stupid problems that book caracthers have. But actual real issues. Which was really nice for a change. They were  not mean or jjst super nerdy. They felt like eople I can hang out with. I would happily sit with them in secondary school. I want to be their friend.
