Reviews
The characters in Dylan Landis's debut story collection, Normal People Don't Live Like This, are blessedly extraordinary., Watch [Landis] very carefully. Once you can create characters like Leah (or Angeline, Rainey and Helen), there's no stopping you., The tales in this bravura work are timeless: They could easily belong to our daughters' generation instead of our own.

Synopsis
"Wonderful! Leah and Helen are authentic, vulnerable characters, whose intimate truths are exposed at perfect, unexpected moments."--Elizabeth Strout, No one, though, alienates Leah more than her mother, Helen. Estranged yet intertwined, they struggle within the confines of their personalities, unaware of how similar their paths are. Just when they seem at a lonely impasse, each makes an impulsive change--Leah taking a risky trip abroad, Helen renting a secret room in a welfare hotel. Jolted from their old patterns, the two of them independently glimpse the possibility of a more hopeful life. Dylan Landis is a gifted portraitist of unforgettable female characters.

    I ordered vials but was shipped sachets. The expiration date is for 2017 which I would have kept for 1/2 the price.
