Am I Normal Yet?
by Holly Bourne
I liked how the main character described the fact that people know the term depression now but that doesn't mean they actually are aware of what it's like to be depressed. Like, how when some people say in a normal fashion, "damn, I feel depressed." No, you don't! And like, they'd be feeling nervous about something and they'd tell their friends, "dude I'm soo anxious I think I'm having a panic attack." Nope, you're not! How knowing these terms hasn't done much good but just made people use those terms incorrectly. I liked that part. I also liked that theory about those feminist movies. How if there is a single conversation in a movie where two female characters are talking to each other about something other than a boy/boys, that movie is feminist. I liked that part too. What I didn't like was: all the characters. Especially the main character. How she annoyed me. How she pretended to be feminist but clearly wasn't. I didn't like how she treated that boy from her film class. How she made fun of him even tho she knew what he was going through. And how she texted him at the end and we're supposed to go, "Oh, look at her she's trying to be friends with that boy who she made fun of because she's feeling bad about being a bitch to him. Oh, she's sooo great. Putting up an effort to talk to that guy who isn't stable/normal enough for her. Oh, hahaha she's great." Urghh I'm still so pissed at her for treating that guy the way she did. And lastly, the fact that she does not eat to point that she has stopped having het period? WTF. Why hasn't her mother noticed it? And her doctor? How come her mother hasn't noticed it? I have problems.. sooo many problems with that whole situation. What even. I didn't like ANY single character from this book. Thankyouverymuch.
