Normal People

Author: Sally Rooney

Connell and Marianne’s relationship defies easy categorization. From their secret high school romance to their complex dance at university, their connection evolves in unexpected ways. Rooney’s raw, intimate prose captures the intensity of young love and the struggle to find oneself. As they navigate class differences, mental health issues, and their own insecurities, the characters feel startlingly real. I found myself completely absorbed in their world, rooting for them even as they made frustrating choices. A poignant exploration of intimacy and power dynamics.

Marianne had the sense that her real life was happening somewhere very far away, happening without her, and she didn't know if she would ever find out where it was and become part of it.
