Okay! So onto the actual review - I really enjoyed SOMETHING LIKE NORMAL more than I thought I would. Obviously how I feel about the cover has no impact about how I felt about the book, but something that irritated me a little nonetheless. I’m actually mildly upset that the cover (which I really like) focuses on a girl because that automatically leads you to believe it’s from a female’s point of view. The very first thing I’ll say about SOMETHING LIKE NORMAL is that I had NO idea it was from Travis’s point of view when I first started it.
Travis’s dry sense of humor, and incredible sense of honor, make him an irresistible and eminently lovable hero. And as he and Harper see more of each other, he begins to pick his way through the minefield of family problems and post-traumatic stress to the possibility of a life that might resemble normal again. It’s not until Travis runs into Harper, a girl he’s had a rocky relationship with since middle school, that life actually starts looking up. When Travis returns home from a stint in Afghanistan, his parents are splitting up, his brother’s stolen his girlfriend and his car, and he’s haunted by nightmares of his best friend’s death.
