Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
“Very few authors have the power to make you laugh on one page and cry on the next. Moyes is one of them.” —The New York Times
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.

5By Widget186Jojo Moyes always has a lot to point out about human behavior! Twists & turns you don’t see coming & a very satisfying ending. If you haven’t read this author, it’s time you do!The best of the five books authored by Moyes I have read
4By dominolouisEntertaining, well written story.Great Summer Read
5By Pony377A good story well told. Not too many characters to keep up with. Each chapter moves along quickly. Many female incites. Believable and great character development. Kept me reading to find out what happens next.Silly
2By Scdab2Silly from beginning to end.Fun read
5By Reader Girl TiffFun and delightful. An easy and interesting readAlarmingly predictable
3By LucylwwFun. But once the comedy gets going, the book becomes predictable and more than a little silly. I certainly don’t want gritty realism here, but the plot makes everything work out (as we know it will) too easily in the end. One character is so limp-lettuce that it’s difficult to buy into her entirely unearned Cinderella ending.Someone else’s shoes
5By SammygirlyLoved !!Very enjoyable read.
5By cindymeineckeJ Moyes is a favorite author of mine I can always count on a complex plot with seamless endings and a bit of humor too. Loved it.Summer read at best
3By akpowerplayMany favor this author and I enjoy her other work. This was a bit too saccharine.Not my cup of tea but good book.
3By Summer CloudsThis is what I call a “life book”. A day in the story of someone’s life or struggles. This is not my cup of tea. For what it is, still a good book. Finish reading the book but I prefer my murder mysteries more.Sweet summer read
5By Kew loves booksGreat characters.. women bonding.. perfect revenge ending Loved it….not at all worth your time
1By jqua1234Couldn’t make it more than 40 pages through … horrible storyline, not worth your timeSomeone Else’s Shoes
5By HubstermudderI enjoyed the intricate weaving of the characters and how they were brought into the story, each with their own troubles and challenges and how, in the end, they were able to resolve those issues helping each other with significant risk factors. Lessons learned by all.Not as good as her other books
2By JanbonesNot on par with her other reads. DisappointedDecent read
4By Pickles 7I actually enjoyed this book. I had read some of the reviews and wasn’t worried it wouldn’t be very good. I enjoyed the storyline it kept me very engaged.Fun and empowering
5By mmjimenezrnI like how the characters evolved and honestly reflected on their flaws and grew in their strengths. The characters are relatable and lovable. I really enjoyed it.Started great but dragged on and on and on…
3By molrudI like this author, but this book just kept rambling on and on. If consolidated and simplified I would have enjoyed it much more.
