If you told Avery Turner that she reminded you of the Grinch, she would probably agree with you. When asked about her feelings for Christmas, she would probably tell you that Dr. Suess based the Grinch off of her. It’s not that Avery is a grumpy person or even a mean person. In fact, she would love to tell you how happy she is all the time. Avery just doesn't like Christmas.

Now Avery finds herself in the middle of a small town that should have been named Christmas Town, USA. She can’t walk outside her dorm room without feeling like Christmas threw up on her and she still isn't warming up to the idea of Christmas being a thing. She’s lived her entire life keeping Christmas in the not-friends zone and she has had no intention of changing that.

Enter Hunter, the man who might have been the inspiration for the movie Elf. He eats, sleeps, and breathes everything Christmas. He is Avery's polar opposite when it comes to Christmas. He believes Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and he is determined to get Avery on board.

Will Avery finally learn the real meaning of Christmas or will she turn Hunter into a grinch?

As the girl who was always picked last at home, the loud obnoxious one around her friends, Ashleigh Underwood has a very real idea of what it is like to be abnormal. If the drama in her life didn't make that clear enough, all she had to do was look around to the exasperated looks of her friends to know that her life was exhausting. Her brother with a disability, her mom, and her terminal illness were just the headlines of a life filled with more problems than solutions.

Ashleigh was determined to change that. She was constantly striving to obtain normal. If she could just have a life that looked more like her friends or those of the girls on TV, she would have figured it out. Maybe then, she wouldn’t be the exhausting one in the group.

In Chasing Normal, Ashleigh goes through her chase and what happened when she finally got to the finish line.
