In Abnormal Results by Kimberly Rae, we meet Victoria, who is decidedly abnormal. She has a desperate need to keep things in order, to put things in their place. She might have been the odd duck out in school if it were not for her friends Chad, Alecia, and Dan, who guided her from kindergarten all the way into high school. Now, just when she is starting to find her place in the world, her world turns upside down. Cancer has no place in an ordered world, and certainly not in a world that is dominated by a rigid need for control and to put things where they belong.
I expected a roller coaster ride with Abnormal Results, and Kimberly Rae did not disappoint. There were so many times I wanted to stand up and applaud these kids as they had to find a way to deal with cancer while learning that the world doesn't stop because of some abnormal cells. They still had to navigate high school, growing up, changing friendships, and the fact that humankind can be devastatingly dark. There were several characters I came to love, as well as twists and turns that I did not expect. Like in life, this book throws curve balls and changes plans just when you think you have it all figured out. Victoria and her friends have to figure out whether they are strong enough to face what comes their way, or whether they're going to run and hide. This was a satisfying book in every way, and I am thrilled to have discovered it.
