Someone Else's Shoes

I wanted to read this because the title made me think, "Yes, I want to know what it's like to be in someone else's shoes." And...yes, this delivered. I really enjoyed the journey that Nisha and Sam go on, swapping places. Along with the other supporting female characters, what I read felt so feminist and empowering.

I found this book wonderfully relatable, imagining myself as either of the two main protagonists who accidentally swapped shoes at the gym and whose lives are changed accordingly. The mix-ups and mess-ups that ensued had me clutching my sides.

During this time, the first woman’s life falls apart. It’s hard not to compare yourself to others who seem to have more,… show more.

I listened to this on holiday. I had a limited luggage allowance, so I downloaded something intelligent but fun. I am now a audio book convert. Daisy Ridley is a superb narrator, conjuring the different characters and their voices beautifully.

The premise is simple: two very different women leave a local gym with the wrong bag and are literally forced to walk in each other’s shoes. Although it seems light and witty, this novel has something serious to say.

JoJo Moyes launches us into a sharply plotted story of mid-life female camaraderie involving a rich cast of supporting characters from… show more.
