A review by rmarcin
No Ordinary Life by Suzanne Redfearn
3.0
Faye Martin is a mother of 3 kids, her husband left her for another woman, and she is struggling to make ends meet, while dealing with her son's speech issues. When looking for a job, her 4-yr. old, Molly, dances in the street with a man, and someone films it - and it goes viral. She is then picked up by a talent agent, and cast in a very popular TV show. Faye enjoys the limelight, but soon realizes that child star fame is a detriment to her family.
I didn't like what Faye did to control the situation, it was sneaky and dishonest. I don't believe it was the only way.
This is the third book of Redfearn's that I have read in the last few days. Since I read them together, I noticed that she repeats a lot of the same things in her books - e.g. the smell of baby shampoo and how she hopes her kids will continue to use it, but she knows they won't. The cutesy language with "w" inserted into words to show a lisp for a 4-year old. I get that the child is young - I don't need to read it in every line that she says. And more.
