Synopsis: A young woman has
one month and a closetful of shoes to discover the future she thought
she'd lost in this captivating new novel from the author of Eliza Starts a Rumor and Nine Women, One Dress.
Esme
Nash is eager to leave her small town and begin her carefully planned
post-grad life: a move to New York City, an apartment with her loving
college boyfriend, and a fancy job at an art gallery. But when tragedy
strikes, instead of heading to Manhattan, she returns home to care for
her ailing father, leaving every bit of her dream behind.
Seven
trying years later, Esme is offered a dog-sitting job in Greenwich
Village by a mysterious stranger, giving her access to all of her
long-buried hopes and dreams--as well as to an epic collection of
designer shoes. Esme jumps at a second chance to step into the future
she's sure was meant to be hers.
As she retraces her steps, one
pair of borrowed shoes at a time, making new friends and reconnecting
with her old love, Esme tries on versions of herself she didn't know
existed. But the hazy August days and warm summer nights pass too
quickly, and Esme must decide how much of the life she imagined still
fits, and what--and who--is on the road ahead of her. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I thought this story was cute, and I enjoyed it. There were also so many shoes! If you're a shoe lover, you're going to love this book. It's definitely a fun feature with the focus on the shoes.
This story has some challenges for our main character Esme, but also some fun too. She's trying to recapture those dreams that she had earlier on, before life threw her some curveballs.
I enjoyed my time reading this one. It was a fun story to lose myself in. I'd definitely recommend giving it a read.
Jane L. Rosen is an author and screenwriter whose critically acclaimed first novel, Nine Women, One Dress, has been translated into ten languages. She lives in New York City and on Fire Island with her husband and three daughters.
