Not Not Normal

From the Series Lorimer Real Love

  • Interest Level: Grade 9 - Grade 12
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

Jordan and Nathan couldn’t be more different, but when order and chaos collide, opposites attract.

Jordan is a bit of an oddball at school. He likes rules, routine, old sci-fi novels, and is often the victim of his bully’s torment. When new student Nathan joins the school, he wears down Jordan’s walls and, with his love, empowers Jordan to stand up for himself.

Nathan’s parents are going through a divorce, and at a new school in a new city, Jordan provides him with the stability he can’t find at home. Through their friendship and eventually their romance, Jordan embraces his newfound self-confidence and proclaims his love for Nathan in front of the school. Each is just what the other needs.

Not Not Normal shows readers that sometimes the qualities we need most can be found in and learned from the friends around us. We just need to let them in. Embracing your differences and facing the unknown can be scary, but with true friends and support, there is nothing you can’t handle.
