Another fan Chris said: "The Normal People finale has got me sitting on the landing in the dark with sad acoustic covers of songs playing #NormalPeople "

Leesa added: "Even though I’ve read the book, I was not emotionally ready for that #NormalPeople season finale. I don’t think I’ve ever cried at a show as much. Absolutely beautiful."

For some people the emotional effect of the finale was too much.
