About this listen

Gustavo Tiberius is not normal. He knows this. Everyone in his small town of Abby, Oregon, knows this. He reads encyclopedias every night before bed. He has a pet ferret called Harry S. Truman. He owns a video rental store that no one goes to. His closest friends are a lady named Lottie with drag queen hair and a trio of elderly Vespa riders known as the We Three Queens.

Gus is not normal. And he's fine with that. All he wants is to be left alone.

Until Casey, an asexual stoner hipster and the newest employee at Lottie's Lattes, enters his life. For some reason, Casey thinks Gus is the greatest thing ever. And maybe Gus is starting to think the same thing about Casey, even if Casey is obsessive about Instagramming his food.

But Gus isn't normal and Casey deserves someone who can be. Suddenly wanting to be that someone, Gus steps out of his comfort zone and plans to become the most normal person ever.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

I loved this!

This was another fantastic novel by TJ Klune! I absolutely love his comedies and while this one was very different, it was just as cute and hilarious as the rest. Derrick McClain's narration was fantastic too and I can't wait for the next audiobook in this series to come out.

Fun to listen to, filled with quirky characters.

How to Be a Normal Person is filled with fun, quirky, and maybe a little bit weird at times characters, but this is what makes this book SO much fun.

Having both read and listened to How to Be a Normal Person, I think this storyline is even better in audio. First listen with narrator Derrick McClain, and he did such a great performance with all the characters.

Gus & Casey, these guys gave me all the feels as their friendship and feelings develop across the storyline. Add in Gus trying to figure out how to be normal and this was a very amusing listen that made me smile often.

fun

It was a charming book. Slow start but that was important for setting the stage for the main character. All in the book were interesting and quirky. a heart warming and joyful book.

Hilarious 😂

I loved how funny and quirky this was! With a ‘2018 emo suburban white kid’ and an asexual hipster who legit smokes ‘Origami starfucker 😅’. I just loved it; It’s addicting 😁 (not origami starfucker, the book 😂). Its such a delight to hear the narrator get into character and actually try to give them a personality. Gustavo Tiberius doesn’t know he’s extremely amusing: making many people miserable by just his ‘vibe’. Overall such a amazing book. Recommend for young adults. (Not suitable for children of course)
