Someone Else's Shoes by Jojo Moyes
5.0
4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
This was such an interesting book! The author combines well-developed characters with meaningful backstories. Thrown in an adventure paired with a mystery and I’d call this another wonderful read by Joyo Moyes.
Nisha Cantor is a wealthy woman living an opulent lifestyle. That is until her husband suddenly announces he wants a divorce. Cutting her off from everything including her clothing and home, she suddenly finds herself in a place she never thought she’d return to.
Sam Kemp is also at a low point in her life. Her husband is severely depressed and unable to function. Her new boss is threatening to fire her. Life is pretty bleak until she accidentally mistakes her gym bag for Nisha Cantor’s bag.
Nisha’s husband tells her that any divorce settlement is contingent upon the return of the shoes. With no family to count on, Nisha’s left without money and no place to stay. She eventually finds support in a community that could least likely afford to help her.
Sam finds a new sense of confidence in Nisha’s shoes which sets her on a trajectory to a happier life. When Nisha and Sam eventually meet, the shoes are no longer where Sam had stored them. The duo and their friends begin an adventure which will change all of their lives and solve the mystery of the missing shoes and the importance of them.
I listened to the audiobook version of Someone Else’s Shoes which was narrated by Daisy Ridley. I enjoyed her charming performance which was easy to listen to. I’d recommend the audiobook version to those readers who enjoy this format.
