review 1: **JUST BOOKED received an ARC for an Honest Review**EMOTIONAL…TWISTED….AMAZING! Striving For Normal begins with Drew Clayborn speaking with her therapist of four years, Joseph Hatcher, in a session to discuss coming to terms with her past. Drew feels guilty about the things she has done and truly does not believe she should not be allowed any happiness, because she feels what she has done is unforgivable. Drew reveals the shocking secrets through her sessions with Therapist Joseph that will leave you appalled and sadden, but understanding why Drew can no longer trust. Terri, Drew’s best friend, is trying to assist her with moving forward by helping her with her career and dating, but Drew is struggling to move forward. Drew then meets two men whom come into her life,... more Carl Williamson and Dennis Brooks, whom are worlds apart in character. Carl is a wealthy man that can easily have any woman he wants, but he is too fighting a personal loss and Dennis a laid-back man that makes her smile and makes her feel loved.As Drew finally feels she is moving forward with her life, her past comes back to haunt her and she finds herself surrounded with everything she has been trying to overcome the past four years. Will Drew find true love and will her true love be able to protect her from her past, so she can have a hopeful future? Will Drew’s past shatter all hopes of her recovering from all her demons to move forward without the hope to be normal again? Striving For Normal is a beautiful story about a young woman struggling to be a survivor of unfortunate circumstance of life and finding the courage to move on with loving ourselves and allowing others to love us in return. Striving For Normal is a novel that will capture your attention immediately and will be unable to put the book down. While reading, you will find yourself on an INTENSE emotional roller coaster experiencing many emotions like being MAD, SAD, SCARED, SHOCKED, CRYING, LAUGHING, and FALLING IN LOVE.I rate B.L. Mooney’s novel, Striving For Normal – 4.5 AMAZING STARS!
review 2: From the synopsis you can tell that Drew is probably pretty screwed up and my first thought was she is going to be a whiny girl that is going to want everyone to baby her. Why I thought this I really don't know but that was just my first thought and I figured I would not like her. I was WRONG! I loved her and how strong she was. She was messed up and had every reason to be and not trust herself. Although she had great best friends that really were her family that wanted nothing more than to protect her she wanted to over come what had happened to her and she was a very strong person. My next thought was a love triangle so both guys are going to be hot and she is going to have to have to choose one and hurt the other. Was I wrong? That I am not going to tell because it will give to much away and you know me and spoilers. I don't like to give anything away. So, you will have to read to see who Drew chooses and if someone ends up hurt. I loved the story and it definitely has some twists and turns I didn't see coming. Which is something I love and it really was a shock to me. I loved the characters and of course Dennis and Carl are both great in there own ways but really neither was perfect and that is something that you don't see much of in books. There are so many things that could keep this story going and maybe there will be more. One can only hope with all the different characters that were in the book that could strive for a more normal life. This is without a doubt a book that everyone should read and it was not the typical love triangle story that I am use to reading about. I really hope that there is a plan to have a series come from this or even several stand alones with some of the same characters. Great job B.L. Mooney. less
