Review and Tour: She Makes It Look Easy: A Novel by Marybeth Whalen

This is a story that lots of women will be able to relate to. From everyday life to friendship and happiness, the book was full of life.

I was impressed that the layers of friendship and appearances were peeled back to reveal reality... one that I can at least partially relate to on some level. :)  This was not some neighborhood I could dream about and hope to stumble into.  I found myself looking at my neighbors in a slightly different light, and found our quirks to be more endearing and legitimate.

Embrace life and friendship, and discover perfection with Ariel and Justine in She Makes It Look Easy.

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.
