Words of Wisdom:
“when we’re low, it can be easy to see everything through a prism of negativity. Human beings are remarkably bad at understanding other people’s motivations, even when they know them terribly well. We write all sorts of inaccurate stories in our heads.”
― Jojo Moyes, Someone Else’s Shoes
Goodreads:
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.
My Thoughts:
In typical Jojo Moyes fashion, Someone Else’s Shoes deals with serious issues while making you laugh. Nisha and Sam couldn’t be more different. But, getting a taste of each other’s words makes them reevaluate their own. A wonderful celebration of the power of female friendship.
