Fifteen Seconds of Normal

“On par with John Green, with a similar feel to The Fault in Our Stars. My favorite book of the year so far.” 


— Books Direct Australia 


“Five Stars. Probably the best book I’ve read all year, and I never saw it coming.” 


— Smada’s Book Smack 


“Five Stars. The author’s writing style had me hooked from the start. Grab a copy, or ten, so you can share them with your friends.”

In a normal love story, she’d drop her papers, and he’d pick them up. They’d lock eyes, and their forevers would begin…but this isn’t an ordinary love story. Not in the slightest. 


Fifteen Seconds of Normal chronicles the desperate days of three seventeen-year-olds struggling through the worst month of their lives. Kaeya, a transfer student on a quest to hide her Tourette Syndrome. Thatcher, a literature obsessed junior on the edge of a breakdown. And, Sam, an indie film maker with a secret of his own. 


When the three meet in their school’s abandoned art gallery, they come up with a daring plan to rewrite the narrative, change the world, and find their fifteen seconds of normal.
