Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens

Faking Normal, a debut novel by Courtney C. Stevens, is about two broken teens, one exhibiting all his hurt, one hiding hers. The interesting thing about this book is that the cause of one pain is evident from the start; the cause of the other is revealed slowly but surely.

In the same vein, one outcome of the book is predictable from the beginning and the other has a twist. This caused me to raise my eyebrows and say, “Oh my, I didn’t see that coming.” But, it follows the story, so cudos to the author.

Alexi Littrell and Bodee Lennox are the two main characters. One is strong; one is weak. But together they make quite the pair.

I really don’t want to say too much about this book. I know, I really haven’t told you much. But to my mind, it’s better to start without any knowledge and let Ms. Stevens unfold her tale to you. She has conjured up two characters you won’t easily forget.

So, it’s Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens.
