Faking Normal


Once again, I read this for my daughter, but I actually ended up loving it myself. It's well written, endearing characters, and a great plot. It deals with real high school issues of sex, drinking, peer relationship, dating. Also harder stuff like rape and how not telling can ruin you. And about what true friendship and real love looks like. There is some language, but once a kid can handle the heavy topics, the language doesn't matter. There are heavy topics, there is sex. But there is love and what real forgiveness looks like. There is redemption from the hard. There is truth that dealing with the hard is messy. There are beautiful words. I'd recommend for older teens and also for adults who enjoy YA.
