About the book
Introducing Rose Feller, a successful thirty-year-old attorney with a hidden love for romance novels. She has plans to start an exercise routine next week and dreams of a man who sees her true beauty beyond her glasses. Rose also hopes to help her troubled younger sister get her life on track.
Meet Rose's sister, Maggie, a stunning twenty-eight-year-old who is sporadically employed and sings in a band called Whiskered Biscuit. Despite her aspirations for fame, Maggie's career in showbiz hasn't taken off past appearing in a Will Smith music video. She dreams of achieving greatness and convincing her plain older sister to care for her skin.
These two sisters, linked by a childhood tragedy, genetics, and shoe size, are soon to discover that their family is more complex than they realized and that they share more similarities than they thought. In Jennifer Weiner's novel, In Her Shoes, Rose and Maggie, the intellectual and the beauty, embark on personal journeys that lead them from Philadelphia to Ivy League libraries to a retirement community in Boca Raton. Along the way, they encounter a range of eccentric characters and navigate complex relationships, including with each other.
Funny, heartfelt, and authentically portrayed, In Her Shoes is a story that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the complexities of sisterhood, challenged societal expectations, and yearned for something different. Join Rose and Maggie as they confront their past, present, and future, and embrace new possibilities.
