Juliana Stone

Some Kind of Normal Juliana Stone

Marc Notes: Told from their separate viewpoints, popular Trevor, who suffered traumatic brain injury in a drunk driving accident, and his assigned tutor Everly, a pastor's beautiful daughter who is hiding a devastating family secret, not only begin to redefine themselves, they find common ground and even love. Publisher Marketing: WHAT IS NORMAL? For Trevor, normal was fast guitar licks, catching game-winning passes, and partying all night. Until a car accident leaves him with no band, no teammates, and no chance of graduating. It's kinda hard to ace your finals when you've been in a coma. The last thing he needs is stuck-up Everly Jenkins as his new tutor-those beautiful blue eyes catching every last flaw. For Everly, normal was a perfect family around the dinner table, playing piano at Sunday service, and sunning by the pool. Until she discovers her whole life is a lie. Now the perfect pastor's daughter is hiding a life-changing secret, one that is slowly tearing her family apart. And spending the summer with notorious flirt Trevor Lewis means her darkest secret could be exposed. This achingly beautiful story about two damaged teens struggling through pain and loss to redefine who they are-to their family, to themselves, and to each other-is sure to melt your heart.
