Description
Summary:There are five towns in the U.S. named " Normal" and seventeen-year-old Gemma Leonardo plans on visiting every one of them. Right after she escapes Children' s Hospital in Harrisburg, where she' s being treated for anorexia. Enter Lucas Polizzi, a high school wrestler with bulimia and, more importantly to Gemma, a getaway car. Sick of being told they' re sick, Gemma and Lucas team up for a themed road trip to " the Normals" on one condition-- they can' t mention food, ever. But as each passing mile puts their lives at greater risk, they soon realize it is their growing love and friendship, not a place on a map, that will put them on the path to recovery.
