Call Me By Your Name meets Eleanor & Park—aching, intimate, and devastatingly real.
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small Irish town, but their worlds couldn’t be more different. Connell is popular and working-class; Marianne is wealthy, brilliant, and ostracized. When the two collide, it sparks a connection that follows them from high school to university, through love, miscommunication, heartbreak, and back again. With piercing prose and razor-sharp emotional insight, Rooney explores power, vulnerability, and the mess of becoming yourself in a complicated world.
Why you’ll love it: Tender and raw, Normal People captures the push-pull of love like no other—equal parts yearning, silence, and the moments that change us forever.
📖 Condition: Like-new—minimal wear, crisp pages, chic cover ready for your literary fiction stack.
💘 Perfect for: Literary fiction fans, romance readers who crave angst, BookTok devotees, and anyone who wants to ugly-cry over love that’s as imperfect as it is unforgettable.
