    I enjoyed the book but it was difficult for me to read at times. it was something different from what I normally read and I enjoyed it. I liked the meaning behind the story, that people change and grow but there's always one person who you will always find your way back to no matter what happens.I also like the time jumps that sometimes it's months and then weeks because it means that it doesn't matter how long connell and Marianne go without talking to each other they always pick up where they left off.I liked that it was also kind of not a happy ending because not everyone has happy endings and it's nice to see that in a book.there are also parts that are relatable because the characters are nothing special they are as the title says normal people.
