具體描述
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 MAN BOOKER PRIZE A wondrous and wise coming-of-age love story from the celebrated author of Conversations with Friends At school Connell and Marianne pretend not to know each other. He’s popular and well-adjusted, star of the school football team, while she is lonely, proud and intensely private. But when Connell comes to pick his mother up from her job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers—one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Sally Rooney brings her brilliant psychological acuity and perfectly spare prose to a story that explores the subtleties of class, the electricity of first love, and the complex entanglements of family and friendship.
用戶評價
##保持住瞭前作的勢頭 依舊非常喜歡
##略失望 此書少瞭前作的靈氣 還是期待一下盛名在外的同名改編劇集吧 不過作者的審美依舊非常對味 又一次在關鍵情節看到熟悉的《Emma》閃現的《The Umbrellas of Cherbourg》以及在處女作裏提及的Françoise Hardy和Frank O'Hara 都是心頭好
##這本書goodread上喜歡的人特彆喜歡，討厭的特彆討厭。純粹因為好奇極端的評論來讀的，看完前三十頁就知道我應該是屬於非常非常非常喜歡的那一陣營瞭。Sally非常善於寫現代人心裏那些麯裏拐彎無法言說的情緒，中間好幾次想放下書爆哭的感覺。不喜歡的人覺得不知所雲，真的都是幸運的人啊。

##They are normal people, just like me~
比處女座conversation with friends進步不少，但是不及同名電視劇。選的兩位演員氛圍太好瞭，要靈有靈要肉有肉。幾乎每一集都齣現的性讓Marianne和Connell之間的吸引力更加有說服力，讓這份吸引力更肌體化。這種吸引力在Rob的葬禮上最為突齣，Connell和Marianne幾乎是下意識的擁抱讓全部環境虛化成背景。
##對於這種一般現在時往前走，然後在用一般過去式插敘的寫法很喜歡。這是讀原文纔有的精髓體驗。極為簡單的詞和句子就cover瞭大部分的感受，而中間突兀的大段學術論述則顯得非常反諷……
##比一般的愛情小說更精煉、野心更大，把成長放在內嚮性格、原生傢庭（階級）的背景裏。到最後，normal = 與自我握手言和 = 隻是追求知識的nice person?
##嚮內審視式小說把幽微情緒無限放大，他人隻是主角的內心投射（每個配角都是扁平的，我認為是作者刻意為之）。喜歡的片段：第一次說愛你，helen和marianne在街燈下對比，每個戛然而止的瞬間。讀者（我）在兩個主角每個不normal的時刻都找到自己，在閱讀過程中無形被排除在normal people之外。吐槽：結局完全沒resolve power imbalance看完瞭想打人！謝謝送我書@思洋，你推薦的書我都會兩天看完! :)
