Elliot said, “Oh man, your book is brilliant, heartfelt and hilarious! I can’t stop reading it. The story about Santa is fantastic, and when I turned over the page to see the picture of you with suicide Santa splayed out on the roof, I was crying with laughter. You’re a true talent.”
Greg: “…the family dishrag passages!! I laughed out loud in my room late into the night over these and thought if anyone passed by my door and heard me laughing uncontrollably, they might have me committed today! Can’t wait for tonight’s reading!”
Michele shares some of the wild stories of her life with us, and I started chuckling, laughing and snarfing right at the beginning, with the “Suicidal Santa”, a truly hysterical tale of Christmas wackiness. Her writing style is easy, inviting and personal, her details are delicious, and if you’re of a certain age, this will all ring bells with the memories of being alive in that liberated era. Strap yourself in for the “bathroom story”, it’s crying out to be a scene in a Kristen Wiig movie. Highly recommended.
Craving Normal is what happens when you combine benign neglect with someone who is willing to find the silver lining and laugh about it. Go on a journey with Michele as she travels back in time and across the Atlantic to find she is still surrounded by cringe worthy adults and their antics. A must read for anyone who can relate to being the odd one out in a world of lunacy. You’ll love it. I promise.
Michele’s story is a fascinating read into one perspective on growing up. The story is interesting only because her writing puts the reader right inside the story. As I have already said the girl can really write and tell a story. You will enjoy this book immensely.
