I’m struggling to articulate my thoughts on this book. I almost cant tell you why exactly it’s 5 stars for me. It’s just a feeling.

Something about this book wrapped around my heart and settled there from the beginning. It truly felt so cozy while reading it’s hard to explain.

i didnt normal people at first. but after it “marinated” in my brain for a while, i realized how real it was. it breaks my heart every time i think about it. i think i’ll love it even more after the 2nd read.

okey, tuve que dejar que pasaran unas horas para poder escribir esta reseña sin estar acaparada por la emoción que estaba sintiendo cuando acabé el libro y ahora me permito escribir esto con cabeza fría y tratando de ser parcial

si me preguntan de qué género es normal people, NO TENGO IDEA okey? es que, ya sí, es una novela,
