I was reading and thinking, why does it feel so flat? Just like the series (only watched a few eps). Then Rooney hit me:
“Marianne had the sense that her real life was happening somewhere far away…”
Younger me would’ve been surprised to finally read a paragraph that captures her emotions and describes them so simply, yet so perfectly.
15 pages in and I already know why it’s called Normal People. (Not gonna jinx it!)
