This isn't a new book. It was released in 2008 but I loved it as soon as I saw it. The bright colors caught my attention and then the boots all lined up in order looked just like my house, only neater. The little boots reminded me of when my kids were younger and they wore their boots everywhere! Of course cowboy boots were the preferred style because they made lots of noise on a hardwood floor and came in really handy when you were putting on the batman costume. The rain boots were good too because they not only looked stylish but also meant that some good puddles were nearby.
Besides being a great cover this was also a favorite book of mine last year. I was lucky enough to receive a copy of my own as a gift. If you enjoy a story about neighbors (good and bad), suburbia, secrets, friendships and loyalty with a good dose of humor and tears then this is a good book for you. Give it a try and enjoy!

I've had an ARC of this book on my bookshelf for nearly 2 years now! I'm saving it for later. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful cover. You are right the colours really do just leap out.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know I have awarded you a Blog Award
Enjoy!
I love the cover of that book too.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good book! I remember liking the cover when it came out too. Much better than those half a face or half a person cover. Great choice, Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI do like the various colors in this cover...very eye catching
ReplyDeleteThis is a great cover. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou should look at the cover of Matrimony -- it is very similar.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover as well, and the story sounds homey and comforting!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! I love this cover as well.
ReplyDeleteJess, I have Matrimony and I like it but not quite as much as this one. I love how simple images and bright colors can bring out such strong emotions.
ReplyDeleteI love this cover (wish the jumble just inside my door looked so artistic)!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting a Cover Attraction is week. It is a pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Marisa de los Santos, and Belong To Me is one of my favorites, too! :) I loved the cover so much when I saw it in an ARC stack when I worked at a bookstore that I gnabbed it and back-tracked to read Love Walked In.
ReplyDeleteI love covers with vibrant colors. I only wish the shoes in my house were lined up instead of tossed wherever.
