Description: Catriona Masterton's fiancé, Ethan, is Normal. He plans trips six months in advance and arrives at the airport a minimum of three hours early. He purchases life insurance, luggage insurance, and always opts for the extended warranty. He's responsible, reliable, and would make any woman a wonderful life partner. In other words, he's the exact opposite of the Masterton clan. Cat's mother has a kitchen gadget fetish, a father whose best friends are taxidermied field mice, and a super stoner man-child brother who lives--where else?--in the basement. Then there's Nan, her proud Scottish grandmother with a proclivity for profanity and mischief. What on earth will Catriona's Normal fiancé think when he comes home with her to meet her parents? What will he think when he discovers his soon-to-be in-laws invited Cat's ex to join them for Thanksgiving dinner? Find out in a laugh-out-loud journey of self-discovery, familial pandemonium, and love. A must read for fans of a true romantic comedy!
My Thoughts: Fun story about a woman who finds herself in the middle between what she thinks is normal and what is right. Cat believes she has found the perfect mate in Ethan. He is uber organized, reliable, responsible and dependable. He won’t break her heart and he isn’t weird like her family. He is the complete opposite of Cat’s family and she has avoided introducing him to her family until now. A trip home for Thanksgiving reopens doors to the past and Cat finds herself struggling to come to terms with not only who her family is, but ultimately who she is and what she wants. This story takes on a real interesting angle when Cat finds out her parents invited her high school sweetheart to join them for Thanksgiving. Cat’s grandmother also adds a lot of humorous twists to the story with her feisty nature.
Overall, I enjoyed this story. The author does an excellent job of creating appealing characters in a story that entertains on many levels. The story moves forward at an enjoyable pace, it held my interest and kept me engaged. I recommend this story to readers who enjoy stories about families and coming home.
