JoJo has done it again

Who could imagine what might happen when two ladies mix up their bags at the gym? They have to literally walk in each others shoes! A story of misunderstanding, friendship and a little romance with highs and lows which kept me listening breathlessly until the very end.

Fabulous Book Great Narration

This is a terrific Jo Jo Moyes book. I have enjoyed many of her books and this is one of the best. What makes a book a winner for me? When I can’t put it down, even listening while on bus or car rides, and very relatable main characters. I am happy to report that this book ticked all the boxes.

Nisha and Sam are from two very different worlds but their fates become entwined when Sam accidentally picks up Nisha’s gym bag, containing a very pricey pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

Something amazing happens when Sam dares to wear the stunning shoes. She becomes more self- confident and assertive, and in turn, she sets in motion a change of events that will shake up her mundane life.

Nisha is dealing with her own set of problems and while she always believed herself to be extremely confident, also finds new strength. I absolutely loved the clever plot and the supporting characters. While the ending was little predictable, I still enjoyed every minute of this wonderful, empowering story. Highly recommend!

Favorite quotes:

There is a shorthand in women this age, Sam realizes. There is none of the sharp elbows of their twenties and thirties, not an ounce of competitiveness. By their
late forties and fifties, they’re all survivors, of death, divorce, disease, trauma, of something.”

“Some days I’ve felt like I don’t even exist. It’s hard for you to imagine now, while you’re young and beautiful and everyone notices every move you make. But I seem to be invisible, these days, and when even the man you love doesn’t see you it’s . . . well, it’s pretty soul-destroying. I needed to feel like a different version of myself— and the shoes, I guess, were a part of that.”

Light and Enjoyable

The narration was very good. I really enjoyed this overall. It was light and entertaining. Perfect book for that "background narration" whilst you are doing your everyday things. Not too deep.

Excellent all around!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It unfolded beautifully, fast-paced, sharp and witty dialogue and brilliantly narrated too. Excellent character development from start to finish. Highly, highly recommended!

Highly recommend this book!

Couldn’t get enough of this book! What a fabulous listen…! The story is a sheer joy and the characters are engrossing. I didn’t want the book to end. This is a story that leaves you willing the characters on and the feel good ending leaves you satisfied with a warmth that only a really good book can achieve.
