Praise for NORMAL TOO?

Perhaps because I’ve been so vocal with my praise of Stephen Mulrooney’s first novel, Normal, I was graciously offered an advance review copy of its sequel, Normal Too. Although I sincerely looked forward to the continuation of this gripping, heart-wrenching story, I admittedly approached this one with the same degree of caution I do with all sequels. I felt like the author had really struck gold with the first book, and I feared the possibility of a repeat performance was about as likely as being struck by lightning.

One thing I didn’t anticipate, though, is that lightning often does strike the same place repeatedly. And wow, about halfway through this novel, I realized this was exactly the case.

Normal Too is Chris’s story. It’s a story of love, family, redemption, and hope. As with book one, it’s very emotional. It had me laughing and crying, and at its conclusion I realized I loved this unconventional family even more than I did at the end of book one.

Normal Too is not an ordinary, normal fictional novel. Like its characters, it’s wonderfully abnormal and memorable, and a welcome addition to the all-time-favorite shelf of my library.
