FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/3hjfevt6

Today was cool and rainy, so I sat all day and finished this. Newly divorced and looking for a change, Adie Lou returns to the cottage she inherited from her parents in Saugatuck, MI. As she starts to covert it into an inn, she reconnects with the important things in her life. I love Viola Shipman's books!! It gets all the stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first book finished for #JoysOfJune and my #BookSpin book for June. @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks

There‘s no mystery here and only a hint of a budding romance, but i found something charming and satisfying in this book. Newly divorced, empty nested, and orphaned -if we can say that of a 40+ woman, Adie Lou has the opportunity to press reset on her life and find the thing that gives her joy. ↓

I just couldn‘t go on with this book. Almost made it half way. The plot - divorced women starts life again rescuing her family cottage and turning it into a b n b. I just didn‘t care. The writing and dialogue is stilted or gooey. 1/5

Such a huge Viola Shipman fan when I want to read a tender story about simple people with a special unique quality. I've read all 4 novels and the 5th novel has just been released. I'll be reading that one also👍

So good for a Summer beach read!!!! Happy feel good book

I love Viola Shipman's books - and this was no exception. The stories attached to family history are always such fun to explore.

I'm freezing and I miss sitting outside; so I'll read about summer and pretend I'm there

A great summer read that takes place in Michigan.

This book was so beautiful. I loved the characters, so much feeling put into them.
The story was very interesting, beautiful.
A great summer, beach read. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this book! It was the perfect summer read for me. I have never read a book by this author before but I look forward to reading the others. I highly recommend this enjoyable story.

My new pool and reading spot!

FULL REVIEW WILL BE ON JUNE 27.

The writing and story line made me want to jump into the pages and to be at the cottage so I could be part of the love and warmth the characters had for each other, the cozy feel of the small town, and the love Adie Lou had for THE SUMMER COTTAGE.

If you need a positive, uplifting read, THE SUMMER COTTAGE should be your next read.

It is a huge, emotional hug....LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book. 5/5

What are YOU reading?

I enjoyed this funny and touching story about a divorced mother of a college kid who decides to convert her Lake Michigan family cottage into a B&B (and, yes, finds love again). Its locale brought back memories of vacations “Up North” — and some were at B&Bs— when we used to live in Michigan.

I was surprised this author is actually a pen name for Wade Rouse.

Reading by the pool 😎

Wow! I won this summer reads prize pack sponsored by the publisher Graydon House. Looking forward to spending time by our pool with these. Just wish it‘d warm up for real! I‘m thinking I‘ll probably read the tagged book first. Your thoughts/recommendations?

The very best books are those into which you can completely disappear as the world around you fades away and your existence is entirely within the pages of the book! And when something finally pulls you out of the magical rabbit hole into which you have fallen down, it is like a rude awakening to find yourself back in your own reality and not in the lovely place you've been visiting. And you can't wait to go back. (More in comments)
