Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne
3.0
So I didn't love this book AS much as It Only Happens in the Movies, but honestly???? How could I??? When that was clearly a perfect book??
However, this book was still pretty damn good, for the following reasons:
- excellent mental health rep
- feminist af (although it wasn't always my idea of a perfect feminism)
- central relationship = female friendship
There was altogether too much boy stuff in here for my liking, and while I get the point of its inclusion it was still UNPLEASANT TO READ. Also I just didn't click as much with these characters.
Still, I think it's safe to say...
Drumroll please...
HOLLY BOURNE IS AN AUTO-BUY AUTHOR.
What a time to be alive.

shoutout to me for reading one (1) good contemporary from an author I think could be a new favorite and being so surprised by my own optimism that I instantly have to pick another one of her books up
