"I'd rather die fighting, than die for nothing at all."This book reeled me in from the very first sentence. There was just something about Mia Lee that grabbed me. She jumped out of the pages at me and I just wanted to hug her...that is if she would let me of course! I was just instantly drawn to her and her search for a new future as Paige Cassidy. She is rough around the edges, running from her past, and she doesn't mince words.As her new identity Paige, she stumbles upon a quiet town called South Boston. Paige is just passing through until she meets the one thing she never thought she would find. She found a loving family. The people that start off as distractions from her searching for her Mother end up being something she cannot figure out how to leave.Her biggest distraction is Quinn. Paige is drawn to him in an all consuming power that she cannot control. Quinn can see through her tough exterior and in to her soul. He knows she has secrets and is running from something. He tries to stay away thinking they are too similar and no good for each other since he fears he has his fair share of secrets as well.This is not your ordinary love story. It is not hearts and flowers. It is tough, it is passionate, it is a secret. With so many secrets, how will any of them ever be "Something Like Normal"?Beyond the blossoming love story, there is the underlying suspense of the outcome of why Mia is on the run. The last chapter was crazy tense and I have literary blue balls from where the story paused...I say paused because this story is far from over, it is an adventure that is just getting started and I cannot wait to dive back in.
