A Nearly Normal Family is told from three viewpoints (the father’s, the daughter’s, and the mother’s) in this gripping novel centered around Stella, an eighteen year old girl accused of murder.

Edvardsson expertly interweaves the lives and experiences of the three members of the Sandell family together to tell a story that leaves the reader at the edge of their seat and reveals things at just the right time. Edvardsson also forces the reader to examine their own morals and convictions as the whole picture of what happened is revealed.

This is easily one of my favorite books of the year so far. I could hardly put it down and loved trying to figure out what really happened. I often found myself changing my opinions and feelings about characters, showing how first impressions aren’t always right, and by the end I think my initial impression of each major character, Amina included, was vastly different than when I began.

Anyone who likes a good mystery should definitely check out A Nearly Normal Family.
