![]() She has a closet full of them, only problem is she never wears them out in the world. In Weiner’s second novel we meet Rose Feller, a high-powered attorney with a passion for romance novels and impeccable taste in shoes. I picked up IN HER SHOES never guessing that it would begin a lifelong relationship with Jennifer Weiner novels (I love when that happens!). This was the one that started it all for me. She looks at Addie and says, “Something terrible has happened and you are the only one who can help.” NPR has called the book “A smart, witty fairy tale for grown-ups” and USA Today said “One of our favorite heroines of the summer.” This is perfect for those who enjoy Alice Hoffman, Jodi Picoult, and Celeste Ng. One night Addie returns home to find Val standing in her living room with blood on her hands and coat. As the years pass, Valerie earns a spot as the local weather girl, and Addie is still stuck at home playing caregiver to a sick brother. ![]() However, in a familiar story of betrayal, Val will be welcomed by the popular girls in school while Addie will be shunned. Addie and Valerie believe when they are nine that they will be best friends forever. ![]() A seminal summer bookclub favorite, Weiner’s skills as a capturer of real women with relatable issues are on full display in this tale of two friends who test the limits of friendship and look to understand just how much strength their bond can hold. ![]()
