Finding Normal

Summary

There are five towns in the United States named “Normal,” and seventeen-year-old Gemma Leonardo plans on visiting every one of them. That is, right after she escapes Children’s Hospital in Harrisburg, where she is being treated for anorexia.

Enter Lucas Polizzi, a high school wrestler with bulimia and—more importantly to Gemma—a getaway car. Sick of being told they’re sick, Gemma and Lucas team up for a themed road trip to “the Normals” on one condition: They can’ t mention food, ever.

But as each passing mile puts their lives at greater risk, they soon realize that it is their growing love and friendship, not a place on a map, that will put them on the path to recovery.
