Normalish by Margaret Lesh
Synopsis: Fifteen-year-old Stacy questions the strange world of high school, love, her role in a harsh universe, and life, in Normalish.
People tell you high school's so great and wonderful, but they're lying. It's mostly horrible and full of disappointment. It sucks. Your best friend abandons you. The jerk you're in love with pretends to be into you, and then the big dump. The boy you've really clicked with as a friend decides to go all crushy over you, so you break his heart just like yours was -- smashed into little pieces. Your sister goes mental, and you get involved with a guy who’s even crazier than she is (who you know is a very bad idea, but you do it anyway). Math only adds another stink of failure to the whole thing.
High school blows. Just ask freshman Stacy. She’d want you to know.

Review:
I received Normalish from the publisher for my honest review.
Normalish by Margaret Lesh is about a girl named Stacy who is a freshman in high school and she’s basically just trying to make it through it. Her dad just died and her sisters are annoying and her crush does not know she exists. Crazy world right? You’ll learn all about it once you read Normalish.
I very much enjoyed this book, it was a very light and fluffy read and everybody needs one of those once in awhile. One of the things I liked about this book was that we got to see Stacy struggle through the different obstacles but she made it through without too much damage which is good to see. Many girls go through bad times like that and I think reading books like this where they can see some of those same problems it makes it a lot easier.
One thing that I wasn’t too sure about in the book was that some of the scenes seemed to be run on a little bit but I got past that because I loved the characters as well. Stacy was a great character she was extremely strong, a great. Some other characters were her sister Becca was a little strange which you’ll find when you read the book, but really she is a great sister. One person that cracked me up was Ramon he was a sweet shy guy but he made my day every time I read about him.
Overall I give the book a 4 out of 5 stars. The writing was great. The setting was great and I enjoyed the characters and the plot they were my favorite parts
