"Normal people" I still don't get the reason for the title. Marianne and Cornell wanted to be normal people but everything they put themselves through is not normal. I don't understand the hype of the book but it did keep me intrigued to find out what happened but I was also confused a lot of the time, the back and forth, in between the story. Ending is exactly what I expected. Anticlimactic
