Review:
I have heard many good things about Sally Rooney, but I was not thrilled with Normal People. I guess I am a bit of a prude because I found the amount and descriptions of sex to be a lot and rather graphic. On the other hand, as the book unwound the need for the sex scenes with their similarities and differences did feel important to the book. The foreshadowing was excellent and the writing was very good. The ability to view several different character flaws through the lens of different characters (both internally and externally) was very well done. I'm a weirdo and I wish that there had been more chess, but I get that it was a means, not an end.
