Review: Out of the Ordinary by Jen Turano


About The Book:

Working as a paid companion may be quite commonplace, but Miss Gertrude Cadwalader's eccentric employer makes her job unpredictable, to say the least. She finds herself carrying out an array of highly unusual tasks, including wearing peculiar outfits and returning items the woman pilfered. But when the wealthy Mrs. Sinclair catches Gertrude sneaking around the Sinclair yacht with some of the missing items in her possession, she immediately jumps to the wrong conclusion. Shipping magnate Harrison Sinclair is caught in the middle of a misunderstanding between his mother and Gertrude, but he can't help coming to his friend's defense. Even as he hopes their friendship might become something more, Harrison is unprepared for the outlandish escapades that seem to follow the lovely, anything-but-ordinary Gertrude at every turn.

My Thoughts:

Now we get to take a look at Gertrude's story. What a story! I loved getting to know more about her and her employer. And how can you not love Harrison? This stories mystery wasn't as strong as the first book was in this series but it was still there. And of course, it was filled with laugh out moments! I took this book on the plane with me and got several strange looks when I would burst out laughing while reading!

Out of the Ordinary delt a lot with accepting and loving who you are and self-forgiveness. A beautiful message!

So yes, I definitely recommend this book to anyone! Jen's books are so light-hearted and clean that I think even young teens would enjoy them!

Favorite Quote From This Book:

"... God doesn't expect His children to live ordinary lives, but extraordinary ones."
