What to expect
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 and complex and funny and flawed' JODI PICOULT
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 . . .

Critics Review
-
This blast of a book throws two wildly different women together for a giddily joyful caper that reminds anyone who may have forgotten — don’t mess with a woman over 40
Sunday Times, Books of the Year
-
The antidote to February that we all need. A blast of a book . . . There's something rather giddily joyful about this tale of women pulling together, and Moyes writes about their high jinks, tribulations and amorous entanglements with warmth and a wonderfully wicked sense of humour
THE TIMES 'BOOK OF THE MONTH'
-
Do shoes make the woman... or does the woman make the shoes? Jojo Moyes' new novel is 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 and complex and funny and flawed - which is what makes her novels an auto-buy for me
Jodi Picoult, #1 NYT bestselling author

Someone Elses Shoes is SO MUCH FUN. Beautiful about female friendship and brilliant on being a woman of a certain age who won't take any more sh*te!

A book we all need in our lives right now. A fabulous and funny romp
Woman & Home Book Club
-
Very few authors have the power to make you laugh on one page and cry on the next. Moyes is one of them
New York Times
-
A paean to women's solidarity wrapped up in a very funny revenge-fuelled caper
The Times
-
Riotously fun and an ode to strong female friendships
Prima

[A] captivating new blockbuster. Superb. Once you step into the lives of Sam and Nisha, you'll be racing through the pages, breathless to find out what happens next. It's a sassy strut of a novel, full of twists and high-adrenaline moments, but ultimately it's got heart too. The characters are relatable, memorable and engaging, and you'll be rooting for your favourites to end up walking tall
Daily Express
-
A warm, witty and uplifting novel and it's a joy to spend time with Jojo Moyes' flawed, likeable characters. Another winner from a fabulous author

Slightly flawed in its plan but enjoyed the story. Jojo writes beautifully as always.
Daisy is an amazing narrator! She made all the difference to it and I’d love to hear her narrate more.joannaparker 2023-06-09 -

I bought this book in paper form but hadn't had the chance to read it so decided to buy the audio version to listen to while painting and I'm so glad I did. What a great story. I have enjoyed a lot of Jojo Moyes' previous books and this is now one of my favourites. It's the type of story that you can't wait to find out more and you want to keep listening and not switch off. Looking forward to her next book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys books written by Jojo Moyes', Marian Keyes and Ceceila O'Hearn 😊
