15% of the way in and so far very entertaining. Feels like the modern woman’s version of Trading Places!
4 stars for me. Started as a 5 star then I pulled it back a bit. Much more light and playful than the typical JoJo book; no deep themes. Just a fun summer beach read. I really enjoyed the first third of the book - reminded me of a modern female trading places (think the movie) type of story. I tired of Nisha in the rest of the book, and it got a little longer than necessary, but overall a fun and easy reading escape book with some great female characters.
Over half finished - my first JoJo book and it's engaging!
I listened to this as an audiobook. It was an entertaining, light read. I was impressed by the narrator’s ability to switch between different accents.
Finished the book - I skipped through the last 3/4. I agree with some of the reviews that the part about Nisha drags.
Someone Else's Shoes by Jojo Moyes
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.
