No Ordinary Life by Suzanne Redfearn
3.0
**3.5 stars
I enjoyed Suzanne Redfearn's first book, Hush Little Baby, so I was excited and anxiously awaited her second book to be released.
I enjoyed that the chapters were short. That makes me feel I am reading the book quicker. It also makes it harder to put the book down when you see the next chapter is 1-4 pages!
I loved the premise of the book. I participated last year when there was voting for the name of the book and the cover.
I was pulled into the book from the beginning and found it hard to put down. However, I had to suspend my belief while reading the book. Faye, the mother, was not very likeable for me. She came into the whole experience with such naivete. I mean, not even have a lawyer look at the contract when you know nothing of Hollywood?
Parts of the book seemed to be extreme in the situations that happened. Yes, you have one child discovered, but then your middle child can also act? I found that hard to believe as well. Your boyfriend who works behind the camera ends up being a (**Spoiler** former child star?!?!)
Despite the issues I had with certain parts of the book I did enjoy it and would recommend it. It was hard to put down. Unlike some reviewers, I did not have an issue with Molly's lisp and the way it was put on paper. I LOVED Molly and and could see how America fell in love with her in this book.
I will continue to read Suzanne Redfearn's books and look forward to her next one being released.
