A friendship grows at the edge of Norah’s world

Norah’s agoraphobia and OCD shape the boundaries of her daily life, including the unusual way she collects groceries from her porch. Meeting Luke begins a friendship that brings new questions: as the connection deepens, Norah worries about what she can offer and whether she is being selfish. The book places a developing relationship alongside a teenager’s struggle with mental illness, self-doubt, and the possibility of self-acceptance. Its premise keeps the focus on how intimacy and personal limits intersect in Norah’s life.

Book overview

"A love story set against the backdrop of debilitating mental illness. . . . Infused with humor, self-doubt, and, eventually, self-acceptance." --School Library Journal Norah has agoraphobia and OCD. While using a stick to snag grocery bags left on the porch, she meets Luke. He's sweet and funny, and he just caught her fishing for groceries. Because of course he did.
As their friendship grows deeper, Norah fears she's being selfish. Doesn't Luke deserve a normal girl--one who isn't so screwed up?
Readers will fall in love with Norah in this deeply engaging portrait of a teen struggling to find the strength to face her demons.
