Normal People

I really enjoyed this book. While the passive voice felt a bit awkward at first, I adjusted quickly and picked up the pace.

Some readers dislike how the book leaves certain things unexplained, leaving it to the reader's imagination. Personally, I liked that aspect.

One gripe I had was an unnecessary character arc that could have been avoided. Another issue is the less fleshed-out, forgettable side characters.

Overall, though, it’s a good book. It has some flaws and I have heard rooney gets repetitive. But as my first sally rooney read it was entertaining.

The novel wouldn't be there if people in it communicated better. But that aspect didn't frustrate me that much as others since I have seen conflicts due to miscommunication. So the premise didn't feel unbelievable.
