This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia get major flashbacks to past relationships as they endeavour to finish Normal People by Sally Rooney. The gals chat about Sally Rooney's impeccable writing, main character syndrome, and why sometimes being a sad jock boy just isn't enough. Julia draws parallels between this and other classic works, while Katie struggles with relating way too much to the plot. PLUS: sex that isn't sexy, Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stargirl, if ya nasty), and the manic pixie dream girl. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.
This week's book was Normal People, by Sally Rooney. More info at https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2144569/sally-rooney/
