Sally Rooney wrote Conversations with Friends which I enjoyed reading. She also wrote Normal People which I did not enjoy as much. Normal People is about Marianne and Connell. They live in a small town in Ireland and go to the same high school. Marianne comes from a wealthy dysfunctional family. Connell lives with his single Mom who cleans Marianne's family house three times a week. Both Connell and Marianne end up attending Trinity College in Dublin. The book covers their interactions beginning in high school and into young adulthood. Both Connell and Marianne have their mental health issues. What I found frustrating is that they both were so focused on their problems they never made any progress nor found any relief.
