Someone Else's Shoes

A story of mix-ups, mess-ups, and making the most of second chances, this is the new novel from international sensation Jojo Moyes, author of "Me Before You" and "The Giver of Stars." A delightful reverse-Cinderella story of two women who seem polar opposites—until circumstance forces them to experience each other's lives. Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does—recognizably real, complex, funny, and flawed.

Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else's shoes? Meet Sam. She's not got much, but she's grateful for what she has: a job she's just about clinging on to and a family who depend on her for everything. She knows she's one bad day away from losing it all—and just hopes today isn't it.

Meet Nisha. She's got everything she always dreamed of—and more: a phenomenally rich husband, an international lifestyle, and she's just been locked out of all of it after her husband initiates divorce proceedings.

Sam and Nisha should never have crossed paths. But after a bag mix-up at the gym, their lives become intertwined—even as they spiral out of control. Each blames the other as they feel increasingly invisible, forgotten, lost—and desperately alone. But they're not. No woman is an island. Look around. Family. Friends. Strangers. Even the woman you believe just ruined your life might turn out to be your best friend. Because together you can do anything—like take back what is yours.
