Explores themes of female friendship, motherhood, ageing, love and disillusionment. Moyes brings her main characters - a unlikely group of women thrown together - to life, each as flawed as they are brilliant, and stronger together Her advice is invaluable A love letter to the strength of female friendship and how women can really be there for each other Praise for Jojo Moyes Moyes is on dazzling form in this big-hearted story Raw, funny, real and sad, this is storytelling at its best Blisteringly good This truly beautiful story made us laugh, smile and sob like a baby - you simply have to read it Entertaining, immersive and moving Dazzling Moyes somehow manages to break your heart before restoring your faith in love A genuinely entertaining book, a really cracking story Freaky Friday is all grown up in this heartfelt and heartwarming tale of two women in very different circumstances....

Moyes is never short on her trademark clever observations ...[her] fans will have a ball Showcases Moyes' ability to portray emotion and female friendship with themes of love, betrayal, family, and hope. It is action packed and will have readers rooting for Nisha and Sam A compelling, full-of-heart novel about the power of female friendship 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 Someone Else's Shoes is a fantastic novel about the power of female friendships that hugely resonates with me; I'm such a big fan of Jojo's work and of her brilliant, joyful writing. It was an honour to be asked to narrate the story and I hope listeners enjoy the audiobook as much as I enjoyed recording it 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 A book we all need in our lives right now. A fabulous and funny romp Very few authors have the power to make you laugh on one page and cry on the next. Moyes is one of them A paean to women's solidarity wrapped up in a very funny revenge-fuelled caper Riotously fun and an ode to strong female friendships [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 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 One of our absolute fave authors . . . This brilliant story is a sure-fire hit It's a hit Empathy and an extravagant plot collide in Moyes's big hug of a novel. Its real heart is the burgeoning friendship between two brilliantly realised but very different fortysomething women Somehow heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time Something to get excited about . . . [The] most compelling and readable of novels, which will make you wonder what it's really like to walk in someone else's shoes Full of fun, unlikely friendships . . . and female empowerment, it's a welcome escape. A funny romp A stirring tale of sisterhood, survival and being seen 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! Hard-hitting and laugh-aloud . . . Two women's lives intertwine and change profoundly in this story full of richly imagined characters A heartfelt story of mix-ups, mess-ups and making the most of second chances 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 Expand reviews
