'Am I Normal Yet?' was a very relatable, down-to-earth look at mental illness. 'My favourite YA book of 2015' - Words from a Reader Read more Holly Bourne is becoming something of a writing sensation in the world of Young Adult fiction… Using humour, high emotion, compassion, sensitivity and some hard-hitting drama, Bourne creates a beautiful, resonant story that tackles serious issues with the lightest and sometimes darkest of touches, giving real and moving insights into what it means to be young, confused and isolated. I just enjoyed it so much.” - Lucy the Reader 'It’s not a book that I can find fault with because it was just written so perfectly and so carefully and sensitively. I got through Am I Normal Yet? in one sitting' - A Novel Youth There are a few feminist YA stories out at the moment, but this is the first I've read that actually talks about feminism and discusses how to be a feminist, and I think it really could be a game changer! And I am so happy! I am so, so happy and excited!” - Once Upon a Bookcase “I love the Spinsters Club, and I so want my own!
