ABOUT THE BOOK

Ariel Baxter has just moved into the neighborhood of her dreams. The chaos of domestic life and the loneliness of motherhood, however, moved with her. Then she meets her neighbor, Justine Miller. Justine ushers Ariel into a world of clutter-free houses, fresh-baked bread, homemade crafts, neighborhood play dates, and organization techniques designed to make marriage better and parenting manageable.

Soon Ariel realizes there is hope for peace, friendship, and clean kitchen counters. But when rumors start to circulate about Justine’s real home life, Ariel must choose whether to believe the best about the friend she admires or consider the possibility that “perfection” isn’t always what it seems to be.

MY THOUGHTS:
If you don't relate to someone in this book, you might want to check your pulse! Mary Beth Whalen has written a tale that is simultaneously completely fiction and utterly real. For any woman who has ever felt inadequate and wondered how that "perfect" woman manages to hold it all together, this book is a good reminder that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the backyard fence.
