<p>I am not liking Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics. I feel like it demands a stronger intuitive knowledge of economics than I currently possess, and on the other hand, it is not as theoretically strong and deep.</p>

<p>While I am trying to increase my intuition ... is there an alternative that covers roughly the same as Romer's book, but actually goes in-depth with all of the issues at a deep theoretical level, rather than just treat it intuitvely?</p>

I am not liking Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics. I feel like it demands a stronger intuitive knowledge of economics than I currently possess, and on the other hand, it is not as theoretically strong and deep.

While I am trying to increase my intuition ... is there an alternative that covers roughly the same as Romer's book, but actually goes in-depth with all of the issues at a deep theoretical level, rather than just treat it intuitvely?

I like [Introducing Advanced Macroeconomics: Growth and Business Cycles](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Introducing-Advanced-Macroeconomics-Education-Economics/dp/0077117867) by Sorensen and Whitta-Jacobsen. The text provides intuitive explanation and exposition of models. The book is neither too mathy nor descriptive, I would say, they offer somewhat balanced introduction.
