My Rating: ⭐⭐ / 5


Hellouuuuu, my book lovers!


I'm back with another review of a book that has received a lot of attention and, in my opinion, should not have. Let me tell you, finishing this book was extremely difficult. I would not have finished it if it had more pages. Why would I spend so much time on a bad book? BUT, I needed to finish it so I could write this review now hehe! I know if I would not read a book, people would say: "You didn't even finish the book, so you can't say it's bad." — but I did. That's why I did. :D


It is boring and depressing. is boring and depressing. I didn't like the characters at all, and to be honest, each sentence in a book made me roll my eyes all over again.



I also didn't like Sally's writing style, and I've never seen a book with dialogues that aren't quoted. It is just a big NO for me.


Normal People is one of those books with no plot and is overly sexual. Marianne and Connell, in my opinion, were friends-with-benefits, and it's interesting to read reviews that say: "Oh my God, this book represents my life. That is exactly how I feel."



If you're wondering why I gave this book two stars, here's why. One star goes to me and my efforts in finishing this book. :P


My final thoughts... very boring and frustrating book, I'm glad I didn't buy it but borrowed it from the library, guys, save your time and read something else.


I don't usually write negative reviews, but this book just didn't do it for me. Thank you for reading my post. <3



See you in my next blog post.
