I have been making my way through the Hulu adaptation of Normal People (I wrote about it last spring if you wanna know my fave quotes + my issue with anything being typified as “THE millennial whatever”) at a crawling pace because I’m trying to reread the book in tandem — an attempt to fill the gaps between all that kinda boring eyeball acting in with Sally Rooney’s extremely good between-the-lines observations about why people act and fidget the way they do.
