Something like Normal
Book One
Monica James
I have a secret…
And I’ve kept this secret hidden since I was eight years old. But I’ll no longer allow my past to define me.
A fateful decision has left me a fugitive on the run. I should be afraid, yet I’ve never felt more alive.
My name is Mia Lee, but that person died the night I spilled blood and didn’t feel a thing.
I’m on a Greyhound bus, ready to start a new life. A life that includes finding my mother, who left without a word when I was three.
But I end up meeting four people who change my life forever. And one person, in particular, shakes things up beyond repair.
Quinn Berkeley.
He’s just as damaged as I am. And harbors secrets just as dark as mine. But he gives me hope that living a normal life is within reach.
However, the blood on my hands has forever stained my soul.
No one can outrun their past.
Especially one filled with bitter memories that refuse to remain…dead.

I did not read this book when it was originally released back in 2014 so I jumped at the chance to read it this go around.
Mia/Paige has definitely lived a horrific and unthinkable life since the age of 8. It has definitely hardened her and shaped her into the fierce 19-year-old she is today.
Hoping to make a new life, she stops in a town in hopes of just earning enough money to continue on her journey to her next destination. What she had not anticipated was finding people who would welcome and accept her as she is.
Monica wrote a gripping dark romance that will have readers begging for the next installment (thank goodness we don’t have long to wait). The pacing of this story was perfect as it allowed for everything to play out naturally and nothing felt forced to happen just to create more drama.
I loved everything about this book. The characters are unique – some you will love, some you will hate, but these characters will bring out strong feelings and that’s the whole point.
I loved the layers this story has and cannot wait to see what happens next.
