Weird But Normal: Essays by Mia Mercado

5.0

Mia made me feel understood like no other book/author has. There wasn’t a single chapter that didn’t make me laugh out loud. Being a girl from the Midwest who grew up catholic and had a deep desire to fit the “good girl” mold for most of my life, I found her essays to be very relatable (almost to a t). She reminds us that those things that keep us up at night and make us feel like an undesirable freak are some of the same things that the people we admire or idolize are feeling too. We are all weird and it’s TOTALLY normal.
