What’s resonating with you as you read Normal People?

Are you drawn more to the shifting dynamic between Connell and Marianne, the way school and social status shape their choices, or the quiet moments of connection (and disconnection) between them?

Use this thread to share your reflections as you go—just remember to tag spoilers so others can experience the story unfold in real time.

This is an interesting book. Not my typical choice (which is kinda the point for me with a club--to stretch what I read). I generally like mysteries or Scifi--something with a problem to overcome or a conundrum to weave through. This book (and many fiction works) is more of a rambling story. Not bad...just different for me.


Julie Grindal (julesgrin) | 151 comments I am about a third of the way through this audio book. I’m not overly impressed with it but I don’t hate it. It makes me wonder what is the actual point of this story though.

That's kinda where I was. Not bad per se, but not sure the point.
