I loved this book. If you’re on board with the unrealistic, ridiculous, premise then you’ll definitely enjoy the ride. Such a feel good story, where you’ll laugh and cry. Such an amazing story about unlikely friends and finding what matters most in life.

Depressing to begin with, ending in predictable. This is not a romance. It is also not about friendship. It is an interesting book about a woman who accidentally takes someone else's shoes, ruined by the story of the woman who's shoes she takes. I can't even describe how awful I felt while reading this book, all the joy is completely missing until the 75% mark.
