I don't think I've ever felt the feeling I had when I finally read the kast sentence of Normal people and I don't think I'll ever feel that again. Wonderful writing by Sally Ronney, never did I feel bored. This one deserves it's cult status is all I have to say, what beautiful characters, the complexity of their minds is portrayed with such care it's astonishing. I'll come back and re-read this probably a few years later and I feel I'll still find it this good then too.
