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.

      Moyes’s charming spin on Trading Places (after The Giver of Stars) follows two 40-something women who end up with each other’s shoes. After Sam Kemp accidentally grabs the wrong bag at her London gym and finds in it a custom-made pair of Louboutins, she takes to wearing the heels to business meetings and finds a new confidence among her colleagues. Meanwhile, American Nisha Cantor ends up stuck with Sam’s sensible flats. Nisha returns to the hotel where she’s staying with her wealthy husband, Carl, only to find he’s locked her out and frozen her accounts, blindsiding her. Then the gym suddenly shuts down and Sam has no way to return Nisha’s belongings, so she leans into her new life, avoiding her depressed husband and a boss who’s out to get her. Meanwhile, Nisha takes a job at the hotel where she was once a guest, and Carl gives her the ultimatum to find the Louboutins, which he’d given to her, or forfeit any kind of divorce settlement. The plot leans a bit too much on convenience, but Moyes is never short on her trademark clever observations (of Sam: “There is a particularly vindictive tenor to the kind of hangover that occurs in your forties”). The author’s fans will have a ball. Agent: Sheila Crowley, Curis Brown.

      Does changing your shoes change your life? Two women are about to find out when a locker room mix-up leaves Nisha with Sam's flimsy flats and Sam with Nisha's custom couture pumps. The formerly feeble Sam finds that the shoes give her the confidence to close business deals and face her floundering marriage, while losing the heels brings Nisha down to earth in more ways than one. Her haughty husband casts her aside, forcing her to get a job cleaning the London hotel where she previously occupied the penthouse. Quickly realizing each other has some serious shoes to fill, they join forces in the name of love, liberty, and Louboutins. Moyes (Me Before You) is a master of humorous, heartwarming relationship fiction. Her latest is an engaging story about courage, confidence, and coming into one's own. Narrator Daisy Ridley brings the full force of her acting ability to this diverse, delightful cast of characters. Her performance perfectly represents the fast-paced and playful narrative. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking fun friendship fiction with a dash of adventurous antics. Recommended for fans of Amy Poeppel, Catherine Newman, and Susan Mallery.--Lauren Hackert
