Normal People – Sally Rooney
Another Irish author who tells the gripping, sad and very frustrating story of two teenagers who are completely wrong for each other but are also somehow perfectly right for each other is Sally Rooney in her second novel, Norman People. Connell and Marianne keep missing each other through social pressure and friends whispering the wrong things into their ears. A brilliant read that you will not be able to put down.
A TV series based on the novel will be released later this year.
