Odd Mom Out
Life just got life-y…
On the night that Trudy Asp discovers her ex is engaged to the same dental hygienist who’s been picking at her teeth for ten years, her daughter, Madison, suddenly announces that she too is getting married, in Europe.
Frumpy, floundering, and forced to live with her martini-swilling mother, Trudy is swamped by these revelations. And on top of it all, she’ll be wearing the second most scrutinized gown at the wedding.
Having packed on the pounds during the demise of her marriage, the idea of being eyeballed by her ex and his scrawny fiancée Zelda, is truly horrifying. To make matters worse, there’s the paralyzing fear of a transatlantic flight — something Trudy has avoided for decades.
When Zelda offers to stand in for her, Trudy is forced to confront the forces that stole her marriage and threaten to steal her daughter’s wedding too. With three months until the ceremony, Trudy must get to Europe, squeeze herself into a gown, and claim the role she wants more than anything: Mother-of-the-Bride.
Will this Odd Mom Out sink or swim? Or will she drown in a sea of humiliation?

First, I want to thank Sandy Day and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
I took a chance on a new to me author Sandy Day and read her latest Odd Mom Out. I found it to be a fun, fast paced read that had me laughing out loud one minute and the next my jaw was on the floor.
The graphic designers for Odd Mom Out gets a round of applause for the very unique and creative cover graphics I had ever seen. Just looking at the cover you know this will be a fun read.
If you know me I love all things 80’s and 90’s so I couldn’t help but smile at the character names she picked out! You just have to love the names Xavier, Zelda, Polly, Trudy, etc. I don’t know if that's the angle she was going for but that is what I picked up on.
Straight away Trudy had me cracking up laughing! I totally get it even if there is a terrible storm a girl is going to do what she is going to do! There is nobody that is going to change her mind!
You just had to love the comical banter back and forth with Trudy and her Mom.
Odd Mom Out had ups and downs, twists and turns, its fair of secrets and revelations.
