About this listen
'The literary phenomenon of the decade.' Guardian
'The book that defined a generation.' Stylist
**The modern classic behind the BAFTA-winning series. **
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation - awkward but electrifying - something life-changing begins.
Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can't.
'Tender and devastating.' Guardian
'A book to cancel plans for.' Grazia
'A classic coming-of-age love story.' Vogue

immature
Very dull and immature book. There was no real story line just a series of uninteresting happenings. Almost like this was written in a way that someone read out their own diary yet nothing of any interest happened.

woah
not what I expecting but it was a beautiful read.
delves deliciously into the complexities of relationships and an aspect that stood out to me was the how childhood trauma affects how you view desire and sex later on. really really enjoyed it!!
narration of boys voice was slightly grating at first but I got used to it.

The relationship between Connell and Marianne
I felt the connection between marianne and Connell was portrayed well, however
Didn’t like Connells voice felt too fake

Lyrical throughout
I love the way it is written and the way it depicts the main protagonist's feeling with great detail.

Normal scenes but well done
I felt like this book was made whole by its lack of glamour and the expectations of what the characters ought to be doing, it’s a great read
