What exactly is a normal life? We live in such a changing world that what seems normal changes from one day to another and from one individual to another, normal just depends. It depends upon your nature and your nurture, your situation, and your destination.  Stacy's life was anything but normal yet I think she desired to live in a fantasy life- she wanted the pieces to all fall together and everyone to live happily ever after.  Isn't that what everyone wants their life to be, a cheerful story. But in reality, Stacy's life was normalish.  I loved the last two chapters of the book and they will stay with me for a long time as they put everything that Stacy went through into perspective.  Stacy's coming of age story is wonderfully written with her sarcastic tone and determination as she pushes through everything that comes her way.  Sure she has set backs, afterall she is only a teenage and she is experiencing life and love for the first time.  Dealing with her sister's mental illness, her girlfriends, and the love relationships with boys, Stacy talks openly about them and it brings back memories of what is was like to be 15 all over again.  This is a good clean coming of age book that also deals with mental illness.Note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review of the writing.
