Gertrude appears ordinary to many people, but she is anything but ordinary. Her heart, her spirit, her fun attitude are all unique. Harrison sees that in her, just as she sees more than a handsome wealthy businessman with an unfortunate taste in clothing in him. Together they are able to resolve the problem of her employer's kleptomania and find a happy ending for everyone in the story.
I love Jen Turano's books. They're fun, light-hearted, and sometimes they even make me cry. A little. Until the happy ending. Which is important to me, because I don't pick up a book to immerse myself in someone else's sad endings and misery. I pick up a book to smile, relax, and lift my spirits.
Out of the Ordinary did all of those things. It made me smile. I relaxed ... until I made myself put the book away and then lay in bed trying to fall asleep, but still thinking about the book. The book caught my attention from the very beginning (as Turano books always do) and kept me up late for two nights in a row. Once again, I highly recommend this fun book from Jen Turano.
