Sally Rooney writes beautiful, nuanced books about Irish people in complicated, delicate long-term relationships — who somehow have earth-shattering sex, without fail, every time. Enjoy.

“What a treat to discover Sally Rooney! This novel stands out shining from the current onslaught of mediocre prose and less-than-suspenseful thriller plots. Normal People is the story of a relationship between two high school classmates in a small town in Ireland, and how it changes over time, through their last year of college in Dublin. Rooney’s spare and brilliant writing illuminates her insight and makes the unfolding of these two personalities completely compelling.”
