About

The groundbreaking and bestselling first Spinster Club novel from YA star Holly Bourne - "A brutal and brilliant takedown of how we talk about mental illness, feminism, and friendship." The Guardian

All Evie wants is to be normal. And now that she's almost off her meds and at a new college where no one knows her as the-girl-who-went-nuts, there's only one thing left to tick off her list...

But relationships can mess with anyone's head - something Evie's new friends Amber and Lottie know only too well. The trouble is, if Evie won't tell them her secrets, how can they stop her making a huge mistake?

Reviews

"It's refreshing to read a novel which discusses what it's really like to be a teenage girl ... this book is fantastic. It's original, funny and realistic."
Annalise Books
"Once in a while, you stumble across that one book that not only amuses you but also opens your eyes to the wrongs of this world and compels you to somehow help to make it right. This happened to me unexpectedly after reading Am I Normal Yet?"
RurouniJenniReads
"This book is one of the most important books published in 2015, exploring important concepts such as feminism and mental health, and also family tensions, friendships, and romance, it's a book everyone should be reading"
Enchanted Bookcase
"This book is really important for two reasons. 1. The insight it gives the reader into the mind of someone suffering from OCD. 2. The constant references to and exploration of feminist ideas and theories. Besides the fact that it's important and deals with serious issues, it's well written with fully realised characters you really care about. I wish I had read this book when I was 15. Highly recommended."
Louise O'Neil, Goodreads
"This book was amazing... it really tells the truth about everything... If you've not read this I really suggest you do."
