Define "Normal" by Julie Anne Peters

2.0

A short, easy read. I'm not sure this one has aged so well: for 2019, it just feels a little overdone and overly moralistic. I liked that it featured a young carer, however, I'm not sure the representation was great other than that she was featured: her situation felt way too quickly tied up and sorted out, which doesn't reflect reality at all. I don't know, as an ex young carer, it just made me feel a bit weird. Also, the 'big reveal' around peer counselling was kinda really screwed... very unethical and not okay on anyone's part really! It wasn't the worst read, just not great.
