Description
My friends are all strange.
Right now I'm living at Brookside, a
place for people like me. I've met a kitty girl, a brooding beautiful
boy, one who can't be touched, and others. My new friends. Strange
people. People like me.
I've always been different, but lately, more
so. My hands sometimes don't seem to be attached to the rest of me. I
cut up all of my clothes. I'm hot, so hot, all of the time. If I sleep, a
wizard haunts every dream. I don't sleep. Sometimes I want to run, but
where do you run to when you're trying to escape your own mind? I don't
know if I'll ever be the same. I'm smart. I'm nice, sometimes. I just
want to be normal(ish). But, right now, my friends are all strange...
Like me.
Dark, funny, snarky, seventeen-year-old Becca struggles
to cope with mental illness in MY FRIENDS ARE ALL STRANGE, the gripping
contemporary young adult companion novel to NORMALISH.
Advance Praise
"Every once in awhile, I find a book that just knocks my socks off. My Friends Are All Strange did just that. This book was a shockingly accurate portrayal of mental disease. A definite must read and one of my top reads of 2016!" - Que Sara Sera Book Blog

"This book is totally not your run-of-the-mill YA novel. I loved getting to see all the characters in this novel deal with their emotions and hard times, battle their demons, if you will, and watch them ask questions, struggle, overcome, get broken down, feel angry, sad, happy, regretful, and deal with such raw struggles that we don't see very often in YA literature. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a real story about real struggles and the real emotions that come with them." - The Bookworm Central
