“Life is the thing you bring with you inside your own head.”

Normal People by Sally Rooney

June 24, 2019 by tillie 2 Comments

This book damn near killed me. And I’m still not quite sure what to say about it. On the surface the plot is simple; two people from different walks of life come together, don’t always communicate great and life ensues. The book is told in alternating chapters from Connell and Marianne’s perspective, jumping in time with each chapter. They meet as teenagers and start having sex and (maybe) falling in love.

And how this way, The Way of the Cookie, makes him happy. I could sit here […]

Happily, my library has the Holmes on the Range mystery series as audiobooks, and I listened to the first four in quick succession.
