Natural Family Disasters by Jae

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book contains five short stories which are directly connected to the novel Second Nature. All of the stories take place after the action that occurred in that novel.

'Bonding Time'
Jorie and Griffin live together as a couple. Learning about each other. Content.

'Coming to Dinner'
Both Jorie and Griffin's families come to dinner and meet each other for the first time. All three of Griffin's sisters attend, include their mates, plus both of Griffin's 'father's' attend and her mother. Jorie's extended family, at this point, only includes her mother Helen.

This was a great humorous Christmas story. Quite amusing and touching.

rating: 4.64

'Babysitter Material'
Brian and Gus babysit one of their daughter's cubs.

'When the Cat's Away'
Jorie and Griffin live together. They also happen to have three cats living with them (all three of whom started off as Jorie's cats). And yet . . . there is a mouse in the house! Story is about the attempt to tackle this massive breach in security.

Rating: 4.45

'Plus One'
A rather neat and interesting story about Jorie's 15th high school reunion. Griffin attends as Jorie's plus one.

Many old . . . friends would be too strong, many old acquantinces are meet, plus one or two friends of Jorie's. Including . . . Shannon Quinn. Oh, and Griffin has an odd reaction to the buffet food.

(view spoiler)[After learning that Quinn from the book Jorie was writing in Second Nature was based on a real woman, and learning that Quinn is actually in fact a Puwar . . . and meeting her and seeing her personality, I really want to read Quinn's story now. Alas, that seems high unlikely now, eh? mmphs. *whimpers* (hide spoiler)]
