We Are Totally Normal

In this queer contemporary YA, perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story, Nandan’s perfect plan for junior year goes awry after he hooks up with a guy for the first time. Nandan’s got a plan to make his junior year perfect, but hooking up with his friend Dave isn’t part of it—especially because Nandan has never been into guys. Still, Nandan’s willing to give a relationship with him a shot. But the more his anxiety grows about what his sexuality means for himself, his friends, and his social life, the more he wonders whether he can just take it all back. Is breaking up with Dave—the only person who’s ever really gotten him—worth feeling “normal” again? Friends to Lovers: Nandan’s meticulously planned junior year didn’t include falling for his friend Dave. Now one impulsive hookup has changed everything. Bi-Curious Romance: He’s never been into guys before, and the more Nandan explores his feelings for Dave, the more he panics about what it all means for his social life. Navigating High School: Between his image-obsessed friends and the pressure to fit in, Nandan has to decide if being true to himself is worth losing everything he thought he wanted. Emotional and Authentic: For anyone who’s ever felt they had to choose between being happy and being "normal," Nandan’s journey is a relatable and heartfelt look at finding your own path.
