Product Description

Meet Rose Feller. She's 30 years old and a high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her that she's beautiful. She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up little sister to get her life. together.

Meet Rose's sister, Maggie. Twenty-eight years old, drop-dead gorgeous and only occasionally employed. Although her dreams of big-screen stardom haven't progressed, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune - and of getting her dowdy big sister to stick to a skin-care regime.

These two women with nothing in common but childhood tragedy, shared DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that their family is more different than they ever imagine, and that they're more alike, than they'd ever believe. In Her Shoes observes Rose and Maggie, the brain and the beauty, as they make journeys of discovery. Along the way, the'll encounter a wild cast of characters and they'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and make peace with their most intimate enemies - each other.

Funny and poignant, In Her Shoes will speak to anyone who has endured the bonds of big - or little - sisterhood, or longed for a life different from the one the world has dictated, and dreamed of trying something else on for size.

I read Good in Bed and loved it, so I was looking forward to sitting down with In Her Shoes. And I nearly didn't get up again. It's one of those books that you want to read walking down the street or under your desk. I even thought about taking a sickie. The sisters Rose and Maggie are totally different, but are both fabulous and involving characters. Their relationship is so real it made me wince (and start to think about forgiving my sister). And the grandmother and friends in Florida are hilarious. Basically - funny, sad, involving and so brilliantly written that you don't even realise you're reading. If you enjoy this, check out Jennifer Weiner's weblog on her website - she's very cool and funny. If you don't enjoy it, well, you can't be my friend.

I eagerly awaited the second novel from Jennifer Weiner, after reading and devouring her first offering 'Good In Bed'. The only problem with both of these books are the attrocious 'blurb' and book covers, which do nothing to allay the fears of this being another 'chick lit', girl meets boy, predictable story. For those who are put off by these factors, please try to look past them, and you will find intelligent fiction which is a true pleasure to read.
I almost didn't want to read the second book, as I was put off by the blurb, thinking I had definitely read this story, or some amalgamation of it, somewhere before. However, I am glad that I did.
'In Her Shoes' tells the story of two sisters, Maggie and Rose, who could not be more different. With this kind of plot, it would be easy to fal into the over used cliches, but the author manages to make the characters original and true to life. There is a sense of reality in both books, both deal with human problems and do not sugar coat them. The characters are not 'drop dead gorgeous' or 'stunning' (with the exception of Maggie), which makes the whole thing easier to imagine and understand. The story is a simple one, but one which is written with such skill that it seems fresh and untold.
Whilst I would recommend the book to anyone, I didn't find it as engaging as 'Good In Bed'. It is just as good and a more than adequate second novel.

Funny-at first 24 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
In Her Shoes By Jennifer Weiner.

Starting as a rip-roaring funny story the first two chapters lead the reader to believe that the laugh will just keep on coming.
It is not until you get comfortable with the idea of a good hilarious read that the story turns serious. But that doesn't distract from the enjoyment of the book.
Telling the story of how two sisters come out of a difficult childhood it is easy to swing in favour of one sister to the other as their lives shoot off in to different directions.

Funny, melancholic and thought provoking In Her Shoes is probably more suited to a female audience. You can almost picture Renee Zellwegger strutting her stuff in one of the leading roles as the story progresses to an unpredictable end.
