Publisher Description
A story of mix-ups, mess-ups and making the most of second chances, this is the new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You and The Giver of Stars
Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else’s shoes?
Nisha Cantor lives the globetrotting life of the seriously wealthy, until her husband announces a divorce and cuts her off. Nisha is determined to hang onto her glamorous life. But in the meantime, she must scramble to cope--she doesn’t even have the shoes she was, until a moment ago, standing in.
That’s because Sam Kemp – in the bleakest point of her life – has accidentally taken Nisha’s gym bag. But Sam hardly has time to worry about a lost gym bag--she’s struggling to keep herself and her family afloat. When she tries on Nisha’s six-inch high Christian Louboutin red crocodile shoes, the resulting jolt of confidence that makes her realize something must change—and that thing is herself.
Full of Jojo Moyes’ signature humor, brilliant storytelling, and warmth, Someone Else’s Shoes is a story about how just one little thing can suddenly change everything.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A simple mix-up forces two women from very different backgrounds to reevaluate their lives. Jojo Moyes’ moving, madcap story centers on Nisha Cantor, who is trying desperately to hang on to her fabulous lifestyle after her ultrawealthy husband ditches her. But when Nisha loses a gym bag with her custom-made red Louboutins inside, her divorce settlement is put at risk. Struggling mom Sam Kemp is the woman who accidentally took the bag, and when she puts on those six-inch heels, she begins to seriously reconsider her own life. With her customary wit and warmth, Moyes explores the convoluted ins and outs of female identity and friendship—and everything else life throws at fortysomething women. Actress Daisy Ridley’s sprightly narration nails both the humor and the heartbreak underpinning the story. Someone Else’s Shoes had us laughing, sniffling, and cheering for its smart, resourceful protagonists and their life-affirming connection.
Customer Reviews
Clever
I really enjoyed this! Interesting storyline, this author rarely disappoints.
So much fun
I wasn’t sure what to expect because the book was on sale for $4.99, but I am so so glad I bought it. This was single handedly one of the most fun and entertaining books I have read/listened to! The characters, the two story lines and how they ended up intertwining, the writing style, all of it was absolutely great. I was quite fond of the narrator as well!
Phenomenal
Absolutely loved this book. Narration was amazing, the plot was exciting and new and the characters were complex and interesting. I couldn’t stop listening!
