Very Nearly Normal by Hannah Sunderland

Matilda ‘Effie’ Heaton has always felt like she’s swimming against the tide. Everyone around her has life sorted, but Effie’s living with her parents and crying into a wine bottle at night. The only thing she loves is her job at a bookshop, where she can lose herself in other people’s stories.
 But then she meets Theo, who knows only too well that life isn’t something to take for granted.  Because Theo has a life-changing secret, and as Effie starts to realise that she’s falling in love instead of falling apart, fate steps in and deals her a new hand. And this time, the stakes are high.

I was lucky to read an advance copy of this book via Netgalley and whilst I loved I loved most of the book, the ending was a bit of a let down which made me give it four stars. 

After a terrible tinder date, Effie bumps into Theo who at first she doesn’t give him any attention until the next day when he returns purse. Over the weeks, they go on more dates and Effie get more attached and realised she is loveable. They get more and more close, creating an attachment to 

Until, one night at a concert, a terrible accident has occurred and from then Theo shuts Effie out of his life completely. Effie, having low self esteem takes this a sign from everyone round. She considers leaving her life after getting kicked out former family home. Until she her boss puts her up and then Effie 2.0 is born!

Determined not to drink as much booze, help out with charities and comes to love herself and more confident. 
I loved reading the way Effie became herself and more confident but the ending had me so disappointed as I can normal tell what is going to happen but not this time. I also got annoyed at the end chapter. 
However, I would suggest this book for people to buy and would defo recommend.
