In short, I find this book to be refreshingly real. Never have I read a young-adult romance book that feels so realistic to what happens in real life sometimes. It's not always boy meets girl and they live happily together with hardly any issues. This book has depth and complexity, which sometimes is lacking in romance books. The interactions and conversations that Rooney writes about feels so real and true. I loved how she touches on real issues that young adults experience as they enter a new era of life (college). While reading I kept wondering.. "Will they even end up together?" Both Connel and Marianne (the main characters) are exploring new intimate and sexual relationships outside of their own. This is a compelling modern love story, one that deserves all of the attention it gets.

the only thing I didn't like about this book was the fact it didn't have a clear ending I feel like the ending of a book really makes or breaks the book and with normal people I really fell like it ruined it. Not having a clear ending kind of makes this book feel pointless like they never reached a conclusion with their relationship and I feel like it just made it become unsatisfying to read.

In response to the above comment. I definitely see what you mean but I also think that the ending fit the vibe of the whole book. Both Marriane and Connell love eachother deeply but love isn’t always enough for a relationship to work. Which we can see throughout Normal People. I kind of expected the ending and I think it makes sense. However I do understand feeling unsatisfied.
couldn’t have explained it better!
