I started reading Normal People by Sally Rooney because one of my friends
recommended it to me. I had no clue what to expect other. When I first started reading it I was
intrigued by how unique it was written. There are no quotation marks to mark dialogue, which
differs from most books I have read. Little differences like this kept me reading more and more.
