Differently Normal by Tammy Robinson

Hello everyone! Today's post is part of a blog tour for this amazing novel, I hope you enjoy and check out everyone else's blogs too!

Maddy has an autistic sister, Bee and is one of her carers along with her mother. She juggles her full time photography job with looking after her sister and keeping her routine up.

Albert works full time at a stables to try and impress his father, whom never seems to appreciate his son and how he does at anything. Seemingly never feeling his son is enough for him whilst he doesn't see what a horrid character he himself is judging people so harshly but maybe it comes naturally as he's a police officer.

Maddy and Bee go to horse ride at the stables and Albert notices Maddy instantly and pursues going on a date with her, while she stresses over her sister's care and keeps work colleague Kyle wanting more dating gossip while he's partnerless right now.

As Albert and Maddy spend more time together, they hang out at the beach and relax there together falling into a happy relationship full of happiness and first times. They make each other happy even when their home lives aren't as Maddy has Bee to help and Albert can't seem to please or make his dad proud of him and his brother is very much the same way towards him not caring enough about his life but judging it anyway.

They see the good and bad in each other and love each other despite anything. However one day at the stables, Albert gets offered the chance to train to be more than a stable hand at the yard but to be a therapist instead there  were we see just how much they care for each other as things take a turn...

This was a gutwrenching read and so heartbreaking too, I never expected the ending at all and I thought it was so tragic yet provided the perfect basis for his parents to finally face facts even if his horrid dad didn't at least his mother finally stuck to her guts about her situation. Maddy and Albert had such a strong love that  came across throughout the last half of the book especially that when the last ten percent of the book happened so was shocked, it really is alike The Fault In Our Stars and you will love it too, just have tissues ready!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
