Summary: What is normal anyway? Jordan is pretty sure he's not normal. It's not that he's gay. It's other things, like the fact that he tends to stick to himself. He's also the president of the book club (which isn't exactly popular) and at the worst possible times, he has scary panic attacks. As Jordan prepares to enter Grade Eleven, his best friend Emma tries to convince him that this is going to be his year of change, but Jordan isn't so sure. He doesn't want change, he wants to be in control. Jordan's world is turned upside down when he meets Nathan who has a strong disregard for the rules and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. And when Nathan starts to show interest in Jordan as more than a friend, things start to get ... out of control. Will Jordan find the strength to let go, or will he push away his chance to find love? Not Not Normal is a book for anyone who feels like nobody else understands them. It's a story about overcoming grief, dealing with anxiety, and the power of love when someone accepts you for you are and gives you the strength to become the person you've always wanted to be.
