Normal People

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

After that it's an easy read. I didn't mind the ambiguous ending befure but over time I see why people don't like it.

One of the major 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 an alright 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.
