Every time I pick up one of Sheila's books I lose myself in it and THE COTTAGE ON JUNIPER RIDGE was a perfect way to spend the day. Once I started to read this book I couldn't put it down. It was nice visiting Icicle Falls and visiting with old friends and making some new ones. The book club that Jen and Stacy are in have all read the Simplicity book and they are all trying to better their lives because of it. Do you think your life needs to be simplified? THE COTTAGE ON JUNIPER RIDGE will make you think about it. I really enjoyed watching all of these women try to apply the challenge of making their lives more simple. Sheila has a real gift of making all of her characters so relatable and real to the reader. The positive female friendships make you want to go out and make some new best friends. I am a huge fan of Sheila's books and I truly think this one is my favorite so far.
