I had so much fun reading this book.
This is seriously good. It wasn't even published yet and I'm already desperate to read the second book, It was like watching a Disney movie, . a better "Freaky Friday".

Rachel's friend Janey, was missing, She decided to look for her herself, She had an idea where she might be so she planned to get there, On her way there, she had an accident, . . and she woke up in Dani's body, her former friend and one of the "perfects", Perfects are those queen bee type of highschool girls, the pretty, famous, and mean girls, Since she's Dani on the outside, she had to pretend to be a "perfect", And that's where the fun starts, LOL

I loved Rachel, She's so gutsy! She told Luke, Dani's boyfriend, that she's Rachel without even batting an eye.
. well, actually she did, but you get the picture, After that confession, the two just became so close and cozy, Like, their friendship was so cute you'd want one like them,

Ugh! I really need book two, I know there's a lot to happen, And I want more Luke and Rachel, I wish they'd just end up together, Gosh, the anticipation is killing me!

Perfectly Normal, by Amy Martin, is a young adult fantasy that intertwines the ignorance of the past with hope for the present.


In a small town near the contaminated Rocky Ridge Lake, Rachel Lord is enjoying senior year with her two best friends, Janey and Ellie.
One night, Janey disappears, and Rachel decides to go out looking for her, After an unfortunate car accident, Rachel wakes up in Dani Maguires body, one of the popular girls at school.
As Rachel tries maneuvering her way through Danis life, she realizes that there is more to the situation than meets the eye.
Just what exactly happened to her, Janey, and Dani And how are they connected to the disaster at Rocky Ridge Lake so very long ago In this enchanting story, Martin invokes the ageold consequence of what happens when knowledge falls into the wrong hands, all the while gives rise to a forgotten legacy filled with magic and mischief.


I liked reading about Rachel and Ellies friendship, Its clear they both care about each other in a way thats more permanent than their dull interactions in high school.
They both love Janey as well, and care enough to be concerned that shes missing, Dani, on the other hand, isnt forgivable I was disgusted by how she treated her former friends.
Although she may be sympathetic, in the end I cant help but agree with Ellie, that they do need to be careful around Dani.
The fact that Luke, the all around nice guy, was thinking about breaking up with her, was little solace.
Not only that, but to find out that one of the mean kids was actually a witch isnt a pleasant surprise when you hate them with all your guts.
Still, these interactions parallel with the witches who did everything they could to protect their lands.
Just like the mean kids in high school, they didnt realize that with time comes change.


This brings me to a prominent theme in the book you need to be able to adapt to change.
With Dani gone, Rachel and Ellie had to move on with their friendship because they knew they couldnt wait for Dani to just suddenly change her mind.
In the same way, the Clairvox witches had supposedly burned their spell books, if only to try and help future generations blend in with modern society.
While this can be humorous at times, it can also be dangerous, As the witches demonstrated, there were other powerful covens nearby, and unless you know how to control your magic, youll be easy prey for them.
High school parallels with this too to a lesser extent, This particular theme was wellexecuted, and was also one of the highlights of the book,

Thus, I would give this book a rating of a,out ofstars. While the character parallels were wonderful, I wouldve preferred there to be more details behind Rachel and Danis relationship.
However, the theme of change was excellent, the many conflicts in the book dealing with how frightening change can be.
As such, I would recommend this book to fans of Never Ever by Sara Saedi, Set within Ridgeview High School, three best friends Rachel, Janey and Ellie are the nerds among the Perfects Dani amp her clique.
However, one ordinary morning, Janey doesnt show up and appears to be missing, Despite the weather, Rachel races to their old neighborhood hoping to find Janey among the abandoned houses, but Rachel never makes it.
Rachel wakes up from her crash in the body of The Perfect Dani as she discovers her own body is sitting in a coma as a result of the crash.
Rachel

amp Ellie must find a way to get Rachel back into her own body while maintaining Danis status at high school in the meantime.


I chose this book thinking it would be an ode to Freaky Friday, a movie where mom and daughter switch bodies, and it definitely started off as an enjoyable read along such lines.
The high school setting is easy to relate to and the characters are adequately developed,

However, as I read on and realized the body switch was due to witchcraft, I started to lose enjoyment in the read.
I am not a big fantasy, scifi, mythical beings fan and I dont often read stories surrounding these genres, but I felt the urge to read on.
While I enjoyed the story, I felt when the story shifted into focusing on witchcraft and the towns history the shift was awkward.
I enjoyed the introduction of additional characters the girls parents, as such was necessary to provide the depth needed to stretch the storyline into a series format, but I was hoping the author would have been more creative than to solely place the cause of body switching on witching spells.
I wouldnt go as far as to say I will become a quick addict of this series, I remain intrigued enough to maybe pick up bookin the near future.

A review copy of this book was provided to me by LibraryThing, in exchange for an honest review.

It was reminiscent of "Freaky Friday, " Ugh!

I love "Freaky Friday, " This book was enjoyable. The characters were interesting enough to keep me engaged to what was happening around them, The pace was drawn out in some places, causing me to put the book down until another time.


I liked the premise it's what drew me in, The MC is good in the beginning, well developed and carried the story forward nicely, Then she seemed to stagnate, For a bit, I was bored with her, and put the book down, When I picked it up at a later date, I read to the end nonstop and enjoyed all of it.


I think this book could be edited down a bit, It was wordy in places and filled with information dumps that didn't seem necessary to the story.
I liked it, but didn't think it was so freakin' great! No pun intended, . . SPOILER FREE

I received this book from the author a few moths ago in exchange for an honest review.


I'm bit sorry that good reads don't allow half, because this is not a fullin my opinion, although I chose to round it tobecause it's quite engaging, I look forward to see how the story and the characters will evolve, and my teen self would have certainly gave it a full four.


The plot is revealed through the conversation the characters have, so the reader gets to know just what the characters know and nothing more, and this involves you and makes you wish for them to find out what's going on, so you can get to know to.
And when everything is about to be revealed the book ends, Yes. It ends with a huge cliffhanger,
But this just showed me how much I want to read the sequel, Not just for the big mistery reveal, but also because I want to see how the relationships between the characters evolve and how the characters themselves change.
The book gives a glimpse on these changes just what you need to say "I want more".

Some people could find it a bit slow, but it did not bothered me much.

It's a easy relaxing read, filled with mistery and even a few good messages for teenagers.
A great story, probably even more relevant to me since I am about to start a new high school and the town sounds just like Ridgeview although not in Missouri.
Nothing much happens, except life itself and that's more than hard enough!

I liked Rachel as a character and found her really interesting from one teen to another.
Surviving high school is something we've all had to do and Rachel's school is just like every other one, cliques, friendship issues and mean girls to deal with.


When Rachel mysteriously ends up in her old friends body, she has to pretend to fit in, which is harder than it may seem.
On top of this strange problem, Rachel has to try to be friends with the stuck up 'Perfects' the cool girls of the school which leads from one problem to another.


A really entertaining story with lots of twists, I'd recommend it to any teens or young adults who just left school and remember it 'fondly'.


A young adult novel with a mix of suspense and mystery,

Rachel Lord is a typical teenager who searches for her missing friend Janey and ends up in the body of Dani, one of the perfects of Ridge view high school after a tragic accident.
Its a sort of fun and mystery tale, How Rachel is coping in the body of Dani and How she finds out what happened to Dani and Janey.


An entertaining read,

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for honest review, I received a mobi. file copy of this book from the author through a giveaway she had on LibraryThing, com, and the following is my honest opinion,

Do you remember the days when youd been in high school Of course, you do and theres probably a lot of stuff you wish you could sooner forget.
One of the most prevalent conditions all high school students had to face and still do, is the omnipresent presence of cliques who know those groups of jocks and the most beautiful and popular girls.
And in Rachel Lords school, Ridgeview High, this group is known as The Perfects, and they ruled this school.


Since I hadnt been one of the most popular individuals at my high school, I found it quite easy fantasizing about my stepping into Rachel Lords shoes and why not Like Rachel Id probably would have been envious and obsessed with “The Perfects” and all the apparently perfect things each one of them possesses: friends of both sexes, hair, complexion, teeth, body, and everything else which could and would make them perfectly perfect.
EGADS !!! what a fantasy.

As fate would have it, while looking a missing friend with my other friends, we got involved in a car accident, and the next thing I knew I woke up in Danis body, The Perfect, Ive had admired the most instead of my being the plainlooking, somewhat clumsy Rachel everyone knows.


As Rachel learned how to be Dani, the rosecolored glasses shed always worn when looking at her disappeared, as did the façade Dani had projected to everyone at school disappeared, revealing at least to Rachel, the truth lurking behind this façade.


With this clear in Rachels mind, she now had a mystery to resolved, How and why did she wind up in Danis body What happened to her own body Will Rachel uncover the truth to all the questions which have continuously popped up in her mind, since first waking up in Dani Is there some unknown power she possesses, a power she has to find out about and about its limits An unknown power which might have been passed down from mother to daughter for generations Im not saying, youll have to read this book to find out.


For having given her readers, an interesting, pageturning, coming of age story involving Rachel and the selfdiscovery of the power shes always had.
Im happy to give Ms, MartinSTARS for her writing endeavor here, .
