*ReCAP is Book 1.5 of the Something More series, and is NOT meant to be read as a standalone novella. But this, this is what happened so far, the way I saw it. It was the sum of those moments that changed me irrevocably. From the moment I stumbled upon the girl panicking outside of calculus - the one with the tight little body, the angelic face, and the fierce attitude - to the night she abandoned me in Miami.

Every moment is permanently ingrained in my memory. But I have my own point of view, and even Rory couldn't know my thoughts in those few months it took for her to go from being a stranger to my whole entire world. The one of how Rory and I fell in love, supposedly, even if she couldn't handle it in the end. Normal is one of the most thought provoking. It pushes the reader in every way possible. Now see it all unfold through Sam's eyes, and learn just how the new girl with anxiety issues stole the heart of the gorgeous heartthrob, and turned his world upside down. Normal is a riveting and magnetic story of abuse, love, and hope. This is not a flowery romance - not for the faint of heart.Rory and Sam fell in love in NORMAL, and we all fell in love right along with them. Amazing format The way the book goes from past to present, the way it tells the story from not only Rorys perspective, but Sams as well. When friendship evolves into something deeper, can a girl utterly destroyed by the worst kind of betrayal and a boy battling demons of his own ever have a normal relationship? Is that even what they want? Find out in NORMAL, a gritty story of trust and abuse, heartbreak and salvation, and if they're lucky - love. An edgy YA novel that has a focus on abusive relationships, rape and how to move past it tammie. But Sam has issues too, and Rory's past won't just stay in the damned past.

But as the fates keep throwing them together, a connection sparks that neither ever expected, and certainly couldn't ignore. Incredibly handsome, built like the star athlete he obviously is, and undoubtedly popular, Sam outwardly represents everything Rory despises about high school. The worst part? There's a witness - and a gorgeous one at that. Her plan is anonymity, but that's easier said than achieved for the new girl having a panic episode outside of calculus.

Rory is broken, and now suffering from a debilitating anxiety disorder, wrought with precarious triggers, she moves across the country to escape the source of her troubles. A year ago, Aurora 'Rory' Pine was just a normal teenage girl - just as sweet and naive as the fairy tale princess she was named after. Starting at a new high school, in the middle of my senior year, in a new town, in a new state. It's the kind of situation most people would dread.
