Short review of Normal People by Sally Rooney

This is the story of two normally abnormal people. This book takes you on a plunge into two lost souls’ minds and thoughts. 

We follow their journey as it goes from feeling like a secret warm hug to an ice-cold, pitch-black, ocean abyss. 

Reading “Normal People” put me in an intense sonder state. You know, when you’re walking in the street and that girl in the back of a taxi, that couple running together, that old man offering flowers to the woman sitting next to him, that quiet woman on a café terrace, that biker trying to impress her, those children giggling, that teenage boy speaking on the phone with a panicked look on his face, when you start seeing all these people as a thousand stories, each one independent of the rest, but all of them ultimately connected in a way or another, instead of barely acknowledging them as background noise, a moving decor to your own story. And I find it oddly comforting.
