Thus, I decided to write an article about it in hopes of actually dealing with these enigmatic/incomprehensive feelings. To me, Normal People is one of those books where you don’t know how to feel once you finished it, but strangely enough I had way too many emotions about this book that I could not fathom into proper, logical sentences. I distinctly recall finishing it just around 11 pm and feeling absolutely, positively lost in life. I began reading Normal People shortly after I bought the novel, and I tore through it in the span of just a few hours. I had heard from several friends who read it that they loved it, and although I knew of the vast amount of praise that Rooney’s book was receiving, I was also aware of the mixed reviews – people either loved the book or they did not care for it – and that HBO had released a 12-part show of the novel in April of 2020 which I had not seen yet, but I have always preferred to read the book before watching the show or movie anyways. This January, I picked up a copy of the novel Normal People by Sally Rooney whilst visiting my family back home in hopes to get out of my reading slump that was lasting longer than I care to admit.
