Consider Normal People by Sally Rooney. Recommended by 13 sources.

“Normal People follows Connell and Marianne from school into early adulthood in a spare, intimate style that stays close to small, revealing moments rather than plot beats. Its useful part is the sustained attention to how power, class, and poor communication shape attraction and self-worth over years. The prose is lean and conversational, which makes the emotional details land; the main limitation is repetition—similar scenes and stalemates recur, which can feel wearing if you prefer narrative momentum. Best as a slow, attentive read.”
