I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

3.0

---

3.5 stars. If you're familiar with Bloom and her work, this is exactly what you would expect it to be. I recommend the audiobook, as she sings the musical and is just truly fun to listen to. I'm an HP fan, but didn't need the fanfic. I don't feel like I learned much more from this about RB than I have by just being a fan and watching her show/interviews she's done. I know she's a comedy writer, but imo, there were a little too many quips and jokes for the essays. Howeverrrr, it was still enjoyable to listen to her read them because she's def still a musical theatre nerd and that shines through.
