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.

用户评价

实在太喜欢Sally Rooney聊天记录了，没有中译本的情况下翻完了这本，总之一直没有get到点吧。男女一号和处女作里的个性、谈吐依然是很相似的，尤其是话总说一半、对于感情的不自信。结尾和前部比就更逊色了。

Do we belong each other? Would you hate me if I talk about the future？I can hear you when you crying about the past. →這個版本的裝訂很好看，很喜歡

现代女性的迷惘 什么才是Normal

在我看来不如第一本好。另外觉得主人公是无性别的。

可能是我记错了书评内容，总觉得虽然超级狗血，但一定会读到Connell和Marianne结婚，然后更成熟的他们幸福地生活在一起的内容。。结果结尾匆匆就没了，好气。。多半是作者自己太年轻，还写不出那个时候的故事？
