Both are about toxic relationships but WH just has so much more artistic merit than Normal people. I get that everyone has their own tastes in books but i think we can almost safely say that objectively speaking WH is a better written book than Normal people.
Jack Edwards just come across as so charismatic, well spoken and even intellectual that I am just surprised at some of his tastes in books sometimes.
And from his videos he likes books with flawed messy characters, complex themes and nuanced messages so how can he not have liked WH which all of that and more?
Normal people the characters were insufferable but so was the reading experience. At least WH though it had messy characters was actually pretty reflective of the darkness of real life.

I’m not gonna lie I have a real distaste for Jack Edwards. I know he has an advanced degree and reads a lot but his reviews have never added any more depth to me and it feels like he kinda goes along with whatever is popular/”quirky”. Also just the sheer amount of books he collects and then promotes this kind of consumption to his viewership without much introspection.
Idk who that is but I think NP is wildly different from WH. I see the connection in it being a flawed relationship but I don’t think the characters in NP are nearly as toxic. I agree that WH is better but I don’t see why someone liking NP would mean they like WH
