Odd Mom Out: A Book Review

So first things first. I must apologize for my hiatus as of late. It’s been hectic to say the absolute least! But I’m back. The good news for you? While I’ve been blogging less, I’ve been reading more. Which means tons of reviews are heading your way.

So without further ado, here is the first review. It’s about a book called Odd Mom Out by Jane Porter. I cannot tell you how much I LOVED this book. From the title to the characters to the premise, I identified with this book on so many levels.

Marta is a single by mom (by choice) who loves to ride motorcycles, has sworn off men, has her own business and prefers combat boots to sundresses. She’s my kind of lady. Her daughter Eva desperately wants to become popular and sets out on a mission to make her mom “normal” so that she can fit in better with her classmates in an affluent Seattle-area school.  And that’s just the beginning. Throw in a mystery man who Marta can’t help but be attracted to, a “perfect” mom who appears to be on a mission to make Marta feel inferior and Marta’s mom who suffers from alzheimers and you have a multi-layered “unput-downable” book.

I read through this book so fast I couldn’t believe it was over when I finished. In fact, I loved it so much that I jumped right into the next book that Jane wrote (and you’ll hear about that one soon too). This book is perfect for your girlfriends who like a well-written “chick” book or for yourself on those lazy days where you can dive into a fast read. Highly recommend it!
