Waiting for Normal

All Cat wants is for life to go back to normal: to hate high school just because it's high school, to fight with her mom over her makeup and with her dad over her boyfriend, Jet (who's back in her life and back at school) and her grades, to get on her sister's nerves just because. But she can't; she's waiting until she's done with all the cancer treatments... she's waiting for everything to go back to normal: https://bit.ly/2ZuldIy
