I pretty much devoured the audiobook of The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman by Julietta Henderson narrated by Katherine Parkinson and I adored it.
The thing that struck me most about this book is that there is very little hatred in it. It’s essentially about love and finding your people and yourself.
I am beginning to realise that books like The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman are my kind of books. Books where people are at the heart of the story and the author takes you on an usually hilarious and, most often times, simultaneously sad journey right alongside these loveable characters. I’ve been blessed to read a bunch of these books (think anything by Fredrik Backman, Still Life by Sarah Winman, The Rosie series by Graeme Simsion) and they are just the thing for lockdowns and uncertain times.
Sadie, Norman and Leonard (and Jax of course) were just so wonderfully drawn (as were all the minor characters) and all were beautifully gentle and complex.
Believe all the hype about this one. It’s fantastic. Bravo @juliettahendersonauthor

I found this to be a very interesting book with a good plot. A 12 year old boy must get past the death of his best friend and fulfilling their five year plan to become comedians helps with this. A single mother does everything to help her son realize his goal and fulfill his wish to find his father. This is complicated by Sadie not knowing who the father is.
