This a pretty short book, only about 200 pages, so I read it in a few days. I've been really eager to read it ever since it came out, but I'm not sure why. You know how sometimes a book just calls to you? Even if it's not usually the type of thing you pick up? Something Like Normal was like that for me. Well, I won't lie - all the excellent reviews for it I read helped. ;) 
 The PSTD thing is interesting. I always appreciate a good YA novel written in male POV. It didn't take me long at all to start connecting with the characters, the plot, and what was going on in their lives. It all seemed so real. I hated Travis' father, loved his mother most of the time, loved Harper. 
 And it made me laugh. That's always nice.
