Norah has agoraphobia and OCD. When groceries are left on the porch, she can´t step out to get them. Struggling to snag the bags with a stick, she meets Luke. He´s sweet and funny, and he just caught her fishing for groceries. Because of course he did. Norah can´t leave the house, but can she let someone in? As their friendship grows deeper, Norah realizes Luke deserves a normal girl. One who can lie on the front lawn and look up at the stars. One who isn´t so screwed up. Readers themselves will fall in love with Norah in this poignant, humorous, and deeply engaging portrait of a teen struggling to find the strength to face her demons.
