Something Like Normal was so well written. While I'm not normally drawn to military type stories I loved Where the Stars Still Shine so I decided to dive into this one - and I have no regrets. Travis is having a rough adjustment to being stateside. His dad and brother are jerks and that certainly doesn't help matters. Harper is someone I would love to be friends with. She got a raw deal back in high school but didn't completely let that overrun her feelings towards Travis now. 
 I think what I liked best about Something Like Normal (and Where the Stars Still Shine) was that the endings were so real. Often with contemporaries they tie up the happily ever after in a nice big bow for everyone and while I do like that with some books, it's more fitting for these two to have real endings instead.
