Very Nearly Normal ~ Hannah Sunderland ☆ Arc Review

**Disclamer: I did received this book via NetGalley. This had in no way, shape or form affected my opinion on it.**

Hey, it has been a while since i’ve had a Netgalley Review, eh? 😅 We’re having one out of the two new arcs that i’ve been granted — Iknow i’m overly in advance for this one, but I felt like reading this one first and well, better early than late!

4 / 5 Stars

I’ve related to Effie from the very beginning; how much she hated herself, thinking of herself as a failure and never did anything in life, as that’s how I felt about myself. (still does a bit)

The novel made me go through a range of emotions; some parts were funny, in some cases it broke my heart, and others made me feel all lovey dovey. The story was realistic in a way that it made me re-live some parts of my own relationship with Alex; which was being a bit harder to stomach at times, as it’s still a fresh wound for me.

However, I was not a big fan of the plot-twist.. Though it was still interesting to read as I was attached to Effie now, and I wanted to see how she would better herself; I was liking the “original” romance from the first part so much more..

Effie had grown so much within this novel- she had the push she needed to finally be who she wanted to be, and became happy. When I thought this was over for the romance and it was going to be solely on this growth, I was happily mistaken and the story twisted yet again! But this time, I’m so glad it did, as it ended so beautifully 💕 A good view at what love truly is and how far you’d go for it; from both parts, as it does take a lot to do what they both did.
