'The literary phenomenon of the decade.' Guardian
'A Tube stop-missing, escalator-reading tale.' Evening Standard

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

This is the third time I’m reading this book but the first time in audio and I really like how the characters came alive for me. This story touches me deeply. Love, beauty, grief, loss and realness would be the words I ascribe it.

Beautiful and Real

Why is Marianne like that? Why is Connell like that? Just why? Why did it end like that. Just why

The time period aligns very well with that of my own life, and I found out that the author is just one year my junior, so no wonder it all felt so real. I don’t have much to say other than I don’t have any criticisms. It was enjoyable start to end. I was rooting for them. Maybe the one thing I might have changed was a slightly longer ‘courtship’ or easing into their romance at the start. But even that I’m not too sure on. I need to go back and watch the TV show now.

It was boring, petty, and generally frustrating. I'm disappointed I listened until the end - I kept hoping it would get better

So, so bad
