Am I Normal Yet? is the debut novel of the Spinster Club series written by young adult author Holly Bourne. The book centers on Evie Crane, a sixteen-year-old girl with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder trying her best to manage friendship, feminism and boys without falling apart. That can't be too hard... right? | |

Neat Freak | |
| Am I Normal Yet / int_1ea248b4 | comment |
Neat Freak: Evie has OCD which manifests in a compulsion to be clean, often leading to intense hand- or body-washing whenever she's feeling particularly anxious. The constant washing leaves her with painful sores and peeling skin. After nearly having sex with Guy, she tries to wash herself clean with bleach and burns herself. | |

| Am I Normal Yet / int_1fe9e22 | comment |
Childhood Friends: Evie and Lottie knew each other as children, but drifted apart once Evie's OCD started getting worse and made her quit public schooling. | |

| Am I Normal Yet / int_24c685bf | comment |
Good Bad Girl: Lottie, who's intelligent and brave as well as being openly sexual with numerous partners. None of this is treated as a contradiction (they are feminists, after all). | |

| Am I Normal Yet / int_2dc86617 | comment |
Did Not Get The Guy: Both Ethan and Guy end up being more than a little problematic, with the former sleeping with someone else on their first date and the latter subscribing heavily to sexist ideals. The epilogue implies that there's hope for her and Oli, though. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal | |
| Am I Normal Yet / int_4852f325 | comment |
I Just Want to Be Normal: Evie is coming off medication to treat her obsessive-compulsive disorder and wants to be able to function as a "normal" teenage girl, being able to manage her condition without letting it take over her life. Part of her obsession with boys is due to her wanting to prove this to herself. | |

All of the Other Reindeer: Implied. Evie mentions not being particularly popular before switching schools, due to being simply known as "the girl who went crazy" among her peers. Her sister Rose also turns out to be the victim of severe bullying. | |

Smitten Teenage Girl: Evie for Guy, Ethan and Oli, though it's not so strange considering the fact that she's never had a boyfriend in her life. Jane towards new boyfriend Joel, since she never stops talking about him and has even changed her look and personal interests to reflect his. | |

Stepford Smiler: Evie feels pressured to maintain the facade of being "normal" and having a happy life, ignoring the fact that she's having a relapse until it's far too late. Her sister Rose turns out to be doing the same thing and eventually reveals she's being bullied. | |

Values Dissonance: Discussed. Being teenage girls, the Spinster Club aren't exactly perfect feminists, and they often admit to unconsciously perpetuating sexist ideologies. They're doing their best to get better, though. | |

Intercourse with You: Played with. Despite Evie's innocence and aversion to sex, it's implied that her risqué encounter with Guy would have turned into full-blown sex if she hadn't thought better of it last minute. There's also a scene in which Lottie describes sex with her boyfriend, though it's not graphic enough to border on obscene. | |
