Jennifer Graham has no idea what to do after her husband takes off with their nanny and divorces her. She tries to make a living and provide for her two boys at the same time. When her husband tells her to sell the house Jennifer is desperate. She has no job and with no house she has no idea what to do. The only thing she can do is go live with her mom and that is exactly what she does.

After a few months she gets a call from her great uncle’s lawyer saying that her uncle, (a man she never met) has died and willed her his house and business which happens to be a funeral parlor right in the house. This business also happens to be in Florida and Jennifer lives in Virginia. So she goes to check out the place and to try and sell it. If she can sell it for a good amount she can come back and buy a house in Virginia. She takes her kids and mother along for the ride. When they get to Florida, she finds out that she can’t sell the house because the last big house that was sold in the tiny village of Mt. Dora only sold for seven dollars and was torn down the next week. Nobody has very much money and the villagers are all focused on being historical and the funeral parlor is very historical. Since she can’t sell it Jennifer tries to fix it up and leave it to the lawyer to sell but everything cost so much money. The man  who had run the place with her uncle suggests to re-open the place to get some income and Jennifer has to agree because that is her only choice. Little did she know that a few days later a funeral was going to take place. Soon enough this place feels like home and Jennifer has decided to learn how to run the place and stay there.
A few days late her ex-husband calls and says he has some good news and he is coming down to see them and take the boys to Disney land. What could the good news be? Is he really going to come and take the boys who he left for a nanny and try to be with them again?

Doesn’t She Look Natural? is a really good book. It will make you laugh one minuet and then worry the next. It’s filled with unsuspecting parts and really makes you wonder what is going to happen next. The ending even I wouldn’t have guessed it is so unpredictable and really good!
