Normal People by Sally Rooney

Because a) everyone was talking about it and I wanted to see what the fuss was about but more importantly b) I wanted to see who the hell dares to put this 29 year old upstart as a blurb on Ben Lerner's latest, seeing as how he is one of the most revered contemporary American authors (and probably my favorite living author).

So I was ready to hate it but about 40% in and I have to say I get why it's so popular, it's not exactly original but it is easy to read and very emotionally engaging.

Nothing to do with Ben Lerner though.

I liked it too, it resonated with me

I'm afraid to ask why! These people are NOT handling things properly!

Oh no, I don't mean in the sense that I'm like them (I'm not) but I recognise aspects of myself and my experiences (or rather some emotional baggage)

Well I hope it's not all the abuse and related psychological damage that you recognize but rather the general awkwardness of youth and first love!

It's neither, let's keep it at that
