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 . . .

Praise for Jojo Moyes:

'Moyes somehow manages to break your heart before restoring your faith in love' Sunday Express

'Storytelling at its best' Marie Claire

'A deeply satisfying book full of big emotions' Good Housekeeping

'Britain's best contemporary female author' Sun on Sunday

Critics Review

  • 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!

    MARIAN KEYES

  • 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
