Fifteen Seconds of Normal — Alex Marestaing
When it comes to fitting in at her new high school, Kaeya is on pointâ€" but when you're struggling to hide your Tourette's nothing comes easy.
Mix in a bizarre teacher who assigns an even more bizarre semester project and the task is nearly impossible.
Oh yeah, and then there's Thatcher, her introverted assignment partner whose obsession with literary quotes has her intrigued. He's way too into the insane project. Probably because he's struggling through a catastrophic family meltdown and needs a way to escape. Either that, or he likes her, something Kaeya definitely can't handle at the moment.
The two meet daily in the school's abandoned art gallery to brainstorm. But instead of the perfect project, they come up with a daring plan to rewrite life's narrative, change the world, and find their fifteen seconds of normal.
Page-turning YA for a new generation from EPIC Award finalist Alex Marestaing.
“On par with John Green, with a similar feel to The Fault in Our Stars. My favorite book of the year so far.”
-- Books Direct Australia
“Five Stars. Probably the best book I've read all year, and I never saw it coming.”
-- Smada's Book Smack
“Five Stars. The author's writing style had me hooked from the start, and there were times when I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading some long, lost work by John Green that I'd overlooked before. Seriously, just grab a copy, or ten, so you can share them with your friends.”
-- A Page to Turn
“Alex Marestaing weaves a beautiful, heartwarming coming-of-age tale. I guarantee Fifteen Seconds of Normal is a story you will want to go back to again and again.”
-- Author M.L. Sparrow
