Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens Book Review

I read Faking Normal a few weeks ago upon recommendation of my best friend, Sofia. Her blog is called Loving the Language of Literacy, if you would like to connect with her. Faking Normal was a book about a girl, Alexi Littrell, who is suppressing trauma. Like many books, she meets a guy, Body Lennox and he is healing from tragedy as well. In an interesting turn of events, the two become close and share a bond that is rare between friends, eventually both helping each other handle and eventually conquer the pain of their pasts. This book gets 5 out of 5 stars from me, due the the impeccable writing style and flow. The story was not at all predictable, except for the fact that it was very clear that Bodee and Alexi were going to become very close friends and maybe even fall in love. Faking Normal also was unique in the way that it made me angry at the characters who were supposed to be good. For example, Alexi's sister, Kayla accused her of cheating on her with Craig, Kayla's boyfriend. As much as I wanted Kayla to open her eyes, and see what had actually happened, she didn't until the very end and I got so angry at her(to the point of almost throwing my book across the room because I'm crazy) because she just didn't get it and couldn't see what had happened right under her nose. Anyways, favorite character in this book is Bodee. His character helped Alexi a lot, and even after coming out of tragedy himself, he was able to put aside his own hurt, enabling himself to help Alexi, and in return she helped him. This book was amazing, and a truly eye-opening book for me to read. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who will read it.
