Media Reviews
A sensational, heart-warming and life-affirming debut. Lisa Williamson writes witty, charming characters you can't help but root for * Juno Dawson *
This book is anything but normal - it is extraordinary. My book of 2015 * Non Pratt *
The Art of Being Normal is the best YA novel I've read this year. David and Leo are unforgettable characters whose story will break your heart - and then mend it again. A truly remarkable debut; I can't recommend it highly enough. Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - should read this incredible book * Cat Clarke *
