I actually quite enjoy her. I think she’s one of the first writers to succeed with millennium minimalism which was always going to happen with how the internet wires our brains. I was however a bit disappointed that the first was a twitterer and not a recluse who cut their teeth on greentexts but que sera sera

I really enjoyed Normal People.
The secondary characters generally sucking apart from the mum is my biggest gripe;
I thought the minimalist 'millenial prose' actually worked really well,
I felt like she left enough subtle nods to really deep emotion that it was quite moving at times, even without memorable lines - instead of incredibly intense language describing their sex, you felt like an outsider looking in on their experiences through a curtain, you certainly felt something really intense was happening even if you weren't there.

The two main characters were really believable and really moving. I really liked the ending.

I think a fair couple of parts really hit me and I really hope it sticks with me. I'm not certain it will, but I hope it does.

I was really enthusiastic about it at first but that enthusiasm's waned a bit. I still really like it. I hope she keeps up her momentum and writes another book soon, I'll be keeping an eye out. Not very interested in Conversations With Friends.
