Book #79

Something Like Normal by Trish Doller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I will admit, I was a leery about reading this book at first.  I just didn't think a book about a kid who comes back from Afghanistan was my cup of tea.  Then a friend of mine told me how much she loved it (and I swear she is my book soul mate) so I figured I'd give it a shot.  I am so happy that I did!  This is such a wonderfully written story I can't even begin to put it into words.  I hated Travis's dad, brother and ex-girlfriend and at times his mother annoyed me too.  I have to say, there were times when I didn't like Travis all that much either. But I loved his story and watching his relationship with Harper develop.
