I LOVED this book ❣️💕❣️

It made my Grinchy heart grow 3 sizes. Made me laugh, cry and utterly fall in love with the characters.

It has Fredrik Backman/My Girl vibes. If it isn't a movie, it should be!!

A bazillion stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. Given the synopsis, I expected it to be emotional, but I really didn't expect to connect with these characters in a way that made it thoroughly compelling. I even found myself connecting with 12-year old Norman. In fact, Julietta Henderson made every character relatable in some way even if I didn't really have anything in common with them. This one is a story about family, friendship, loyalty, learning, and determination. It's very well written and engaging - just an all-around impressive debut novel.

The characters are so vivid, rich and full of life, the story is so heartwarming (and also heart breaking) and the writing really flows. I highly recommend anyone to spend 350 pages with norman foreman and his family.
