How extremely cool is that? I hope to find the next book really soon. Also, it turns out, Holly Bourne wrote these books as a trilogy on feminism called “The Spinster Club” series with the three best friends as heroines and with each girl having her own story.

It’s utterly relatable with the wonderful story of true friendship and most importantly, it is adorably British! What’s not to love? Lol! It’s like finding the perfect best friend in a book! I totally recommend it. Oh my God, I was so nervous about that presentation. “Oooh, I like my pens in a line, I’m so OCD. Because now people use the phrase OCD to describe minor personality quirks. And for all the good it’s brought people like me who have been given therapy and stuff, there’s a lot of bad it’s brought too. Because now mental health disorders have gone “mainstream”. “Mental illnesses have gone too far the other way. Just a glimpse on its refreshing and on the spot approach on mental illnesses: It’s extremely hilarious (been laughing since page one), but also heart-rending, truly very eye opening as it involves feminism in its rawest, most genuine sense and a closer, more sensitive look at mental illnesses (like OCD). I may be overreacting but Am I Normal Yet may be one of the best YA contemporaries I’ve read to date. Everyone finds life an utter nightmare sometimes, and there’s no “normal” way of dealing with it. Still, I have to say that this first book in the spinster club series was not a pleasant experience for me. I haven't lost hope in Holly Bourne, though, as I could see a brilliant author in some areas despite her making a terrible mistake in this novel. This was one of the first books written by the author. I had simultaneously purchased five books by this author just based on the reviews by a few of my friends before I started reading one. I don't know how the author will write about characters struggling with anxiety and OCD when she is making fun of other diseases. The author's views about feminism and addiction are also a little difficult to digest.

I still read more than 400 more pages without discarding this book, hoping to find something to love this book and the author. I was filled with anger when I read that part.

Sadly, the author failed terribly in this part by making fun of epilepsy through one of her main characters. Some readers can tolerate that to a certain extent if it is done by the villain (As a human being, I won't tolerate that too). In my opinion, the golden rule that every author should follow while writing is to never ever make the main characters mock a clinical condition of other characters. She is slowly getting back on track after treatment for her OCD and anxiety. Holly Bourne tells us the story of Evie, who just wants to be normal.
