Today I have the honor of sharing an exclusive sneak peek at Far From Normal by Becky Wallace, as well as sharing in the book’s gorgeous cover reveal. I’m a HUGE fan of Becky’s books, so it’s really a genuine pleasure to be helping out with today’s reveals. Before we get to that sneak peek, check out the synopsis & the shiny new cover:
Maddie McPherson is sick of Normal—both her hometown of Normal, Illinois and being the ‘normal’ sibling. But when she lands a summer internship with a sports marketing firm, she finally has a chance to crawl out of her genius brother’s shadow. Not to mention, a glowing letter of recommendation could land her the scholarship she needs to get into her dream college.
But Maddie’s nickname is “Calamaddie” for a reason, and when the company assigns her to work with nineteen-year-old MLS star Gabriel Fortuna—who’s famous for crashing a Maserati after flubbing Italy’s World Cup hopes—she wonders if she’s set herself up for another embarrassment.
She takes the brooding soccer star to his appointments, and it’s going well—a bit too well. The more time they spend together, the more Maddie wonders if Gabriel’s lack of catastrophe has more to do with his flirtations than her abilities. Falling for a footballer is exactly how “Calamaddie” would botch this internship. But with the firm calling her a miracle worker for keeping Gabriel out of the tabloids, is her heart worth risking?
And now, the real reason you’re here …

I loved Stealing Home and am a huge fan of this author’s work as well as her strength as a real, live, giving person. I’m sharing all the cover reveal posts I see today. I can’t wait to read this book and have something to look forward to in September.
