Normal People is an outside-the-box love story that starts off with two teens and follows them through several of their formative years. Be warned: it is very sexual in nature, so if that makes you uncomfortable this is probably not the book for you. Rooney explores mental health, sexuality, power dynamics, and how those formative years can have lasting effects on the person we become later in life. By providing the reader with different "snapshots" throughout several years, we are able to assess those impacts on a deeper level and see how the characters can continue to grow, yet still be so deeply connected. Overall a good read.
