The reader is exposed to their thoughts, feelings and secrets. The narrative is told through the inner workings of Marianne and Connell’s minds. It’s only when they are together that they can face themselves and the world around them. They start to face dark, daunting barriers which cause them to spiral in different directions. A secret relationship forms between them while in school, but it comes to a halt once they begin University.
The two become acquainted when Connell’s mom starts to work as a housekeeper in Marriane’s house. With every chapter jumping ahead in time, we follow two characters: Marriane, the social outcast, who is considered strange and daring because she is smarter than everyone and Connell, who is athletic, popular, and cares about how others perceive him. Engrossing, provocative, and honest, Sally Rooney’s Normal People dissects characters’ thoughts, feelings, and uncertainty for the future. Normal People is emotionally draining in the best way possible. Two damaged people who long for nothing more than to be normal navigate the highs and lows of a relationship.
