My second read of the year.. is a DNF 👀
Normal people by Sally Rooney.
I got about half way through. I liked the tension between both characters and I was DESPERATE to see that grow and evolve in whatever way it could.
But it just didn’t. Nothing happened. The writing style for me was passive, eventless, and too descriptive.
I just couldn’t get into it. I’ll try Conversations with friends next instead for January. People have said they didn’t get the hype and preferred the program, so I’ll watch that as well.
I really wanted to like it, and I’m glad many have, but for me there was too much ‘suspense building’ and it just fell flat.. not for me!
i’m glad i’m not the only one!!! i tried to read this last summer and i couldn’t for the life of me get into it!!! i hated that there were no speech marks and i thought it was a massive bore!!!! i’ll probably try again one day but definitely wasn’t for me either!! 💕
I always feel like NP is a very rare case of the TV show being better than the book
I didnt enjoy this one either, it had so much potential but it just didnt go anywhere for me
I read this in the summer and really didn’t like it , glad I’m not the only one
I DNF’D this pretty quickly 😬
Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much 😂 I felt the same!💕
