Review 📖 Newly Purchased Book: Normal People Is Not Love

📖 Book Review: Normal People

"Normal is not love." 🥲

This book is Sally Rooney's novel.

That tells the story of the relationship.

"Connell" and "Maryann."

Overall, it's not sweet love.

But a love that is so real, so real that it hurts.

💭 The feeling after reading.

• It is a love that timing never fits, each person loves, but accidentally hurts each other. Read and there will be a period like "Why not talk well!" but finally understand that... people are more complicated than that.

✨. Very favorite spot.

♫ Simple language, but very deep emotions. The cavalry has dimensions. Not 100% good or bad. Feel like secretly reading real lives rather than fiction.

♫ Suitable for people who like fictional realistic, not sweet; people who have had "unclear" relationships, or who want to read something lightly banged but lingering for a long time.

🫶🏻 Personal score: 8.5/10

(Broken at some point, secretly uncomfortable, but because it's too real)

... Read moreถ้ากำลังเสิร์ชหา “normal people หนังสือ” แล้วลังเลว่าจะเหมาะกับเรามั้ย ขอแชร์มุมอ่านแบบคนชอบนิยายความสัมพันธ์เรียลๆ นะคะ Normal People (ปกติคือไม่รัก) เป็นเล่มที่อ่านแล้วรู้สึกเหมือนแอบดูชีวิตคนสองคนจริงๆ มากกว่านิยาย จุดเด่นคือมันไม่ได้พาเราไปทางโรแมนติกหวานๆ แต่พาไปทาง “ความสัมพันธ์ที่ไม่ชัดเจน” ที่เกิดขึ้นได้บ่อยในชีวิตจริง—ต่างคนต่างรัก ต่างคนต่างต้องการกัน แต่ดันพูดไม่หมด/พูดไม่ตรงจังหวะ จนกลายเป็นการทำร้ายกันแบบไม่ตั้งใจ สิ่งที่ชอบมากคือภาษาของ Sally Rooney เรียบๆ ไม่ประโคม แต่ทำให้อารมณ์ลึกขึ้นเรื่อยๆ แบบเงียบๆ แล้วค่อยๆ หน่วง ตัวละครอย่างคอนเนลล์กับแมรีแอนน์ก็ไม่ได้ถูกทำให้ดีหรือแย่สุดโต่ง เลยอ่านแล้วหงุดหงิดบ้าง เหนื่อยบ้าง (โดยเฉพาะช่วงที่อยากตะโกนว่า “ทำไมไม่คุยกัน!”) แต่พอวางหนังสือกลับรู้สึกเข้าใจว่า คนเราซับซ้อนกว่าที่คิด และบางครั้งการสื่อสารมันยากเพราะปมในใจและบริบทที่แต่ละคนโตมาไม่เหมือนกัน เหมาะกับใคร? - คนที่ชอบนิยายแนว realistic / coming-of-age ที่เน้นความสัมพันธ์และจิตใจมากกว่าพล็อตหวือหวา - คนที่เคยมีความสัมพันธ์แบบไปๆ มาๆ ไม่ชัดเจน หรือเคยเจอ “รักกันแต่ไม่พร้อม” - คนที่อยากอ่านเล่มที่กระแทกใจเบาๆ แต่ lingering นานๆ หลังอ่านจบ ไม่เหมาะกับใคร? - ถ้าชอบเลิฟสตอรี่หวานๆ มีคำอธิบายชัดเจน หรือจังหวะเรื่องที่พาไปแบบสบายๆ เล่มนี้อาจทำให้รู้สึกอึดอัดได้ เพราะความเรียลมันมีความค้างคาและความเงียบเยอะ ทริคส่วนตัวก่อนเริ่มอ่าน ลองอ่านแบบไม่รีบ และยอมให้ตัวเอง “ไม่ต้องตัดสิน” ตัวละครเร็วเกินไป พออ่านไปเรื่อยๆ เราจะเห็นเหตุผลและบาดแผลที่ทำให้เขาเลือกแบบนั้น แล้วความเจ็บของเรื่องจะชัดขึ้น (และอินขึ้นด้วย) ปล. ใครเจอเล่มนี้ตามงานหนังสือ/งานหนังสือล่าสุด บางทีจะมีโปรดีๆ (เคยเห็นราคาประมาณ 250 บาท) ถ้าได้มาพร้อมที่คั่นลายเดียวกับปกคือคุ้มมาก เก็บสวยด้วยค่ะ
