We Are Totally Normal by Naomi Kanakia
2.0

I think I went in to this book expecting something very different- I’d seen it compared to The Fascinators which I loved.

I think people are either going to love or hate this book and I don’t want to critique it too much based on my own opinions because it’s fantastic that this book has so much representation.

For me, our MC was self-absorbed and the way he treated his romantic relationships did not work for me. I was looking for a sweet contemporary YA romance which is not what this was- it was quite difficult to read at points for example when he describes feeling physically repulsed by his own boyfriend.

Guess not every book is going to work for me and I’m sure some people will love it- just not one I enjoyed.
