BOOK REVIEW: Norma Jean by Amanda Heath

Norma Jean by Amanda Heath
Genres: New Adult, Contemporary Romance
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 
The night Chance Duncan drunkenly kissed me on his couch, I vowed my revenge. I finally had something over his head, something that would bring him to his knees. It only served him right. He bullied me for years and turned me into this messed up person I am now.

Though I didn’t know at the time he wasn’t that mean little boy anymore. He was almost a man and easily stole my breath away. I just wanted to make him fall in love with, then break his heart into a million pieces. Just the way mine was. Instead he put the pieces back together and I started to feel whole again.

Good things never last. He did what I was supposed to do. Broke my already fragile heart all over again. Betrayed and alone I fled my home town and started a new life where I wasn’t in the shadow of what I did.

Now he is back and trying to worm his way into my heart, again. Though he will never know it will always belong to him. He hurt me and I want nothing to do with him. Life has other plans. Doesn’t it always?

He doesn’t know though. Doesn’t know what I’m hiding or who I’m hiding from. I never thought I would see Chance again and I’m afraid that he’ll get hurt getting mixed up in my mess. Though he is right in the middle of it, without even knowing it. I have to find a way for us to get out, before somebody dies.

My name is Norma Jean and this isn’t a fairytale.




My Thoughts

The story is about Norma.. she has some self esteem issues growing up. She has acnes and everyone made fun of her.. the only person to blame for this is Chance. (her long time crush)
Chance is a popular guy in school. He bullied our heroine Norma for years. But things changed... He realized she's the one. Now Norma wants revenge, she had a plan... make him love her then leave... though it kinda backfired because she couldn't help but fall in love with him too!

Both main characters are likeable. Norma is a strong person despite of getting teased in school. She has strong personality and quite a b*tch which is quite refreshing. lol. Now Chance is my favorite here. I love his pov and how he fell for Norma. ^_^

There was this part in the story where Norma believed someone and she ran away! (didn't even confront the hero) I wanted to smack her! lol.

My only complaint is the dialogue in the story... It was quite distracting. But over all this was a nice read. I give this 4 stars! I'm not in love with the story but the plot is good heck I stayed up late just to finish it. lol.
