    I watched the series first and then learned it was a book and read it. I couldn’t believe how faithful it was on so many levels, and both tore me up inside. I lived that story in so many ways. To love a series enough to prompt me to read the book says something as typically I do it the other way around. I have now watched the series twice and plan to reread the book. I’m 50.

    I LOVED Normal People, and a month or so after I watched it, I realized that my 58-year-old mom was also watching Normal People. It was crazy how a 20-something could bond with her mom over something like this but Normal People is so special on so many levels.

      Olivia, I'm 60 so about your mother's age :-) and I found this show also very very beautiful. Everything was so perfect: the story, the cast, the way of filming so intimistic and sereen, just waaauw. A pity in my surroundings there seemed that nobody had seen this show or read the book. So I could not talk with nobody about it.
      I would have found it a pleasure to take about this story even with young people.
