Decent easy read but slow at times.

Meh...probably wouldn't have finished this except I was listening to the book and just kept going (its so hard for me to not finish a book!)

I wanted to like Paris and her friends but they all felt so fake and too mature (though there is plenty of immaturity) for being in their mid 20's.

Summary: Behind every successful woman Is the right pair of shoes. Run hard. Run fast. Just don't try to run in heels. Especially if your name is Paris Jackson and you're fashion-impaired. Designer labels and stilettos aren't exactly Paris's thing. Give her a pair of sneakers and she's a happy woman. That's why she's spending nights designing running shoes for her start-up company, and why she doesn't have time for an ex-husband on a therapy quest. A best friend with a death wish. A mom who has suddenly developed an obsession with funerals and sexy ex-cons, a boyfriend who's changing all the rules, and a confusing attraction to the boss about to fire her from her day job. And now people are telling her the way to succeed is through high-fashion shoes. Those will only trip Paris up. Won't they? She's about to find out.

One of my favorite light reads .

Too many plot twists and not enough meaningful character development. The protagonist's feelings jumped around too much to seem genuine.

Fun, breezy chick lit, though at times I had to suspend my disbelief. She started a running shoe company without knowing anything about shoes? She didn't notice her boyfriend studying hard to get into med school despite the fact they spent so much time together? (and you don't take the GMATs to get into med school but I suppose I'll let that one go). And the end wrap-up chapter was a little...strange. But I enjoyed the story nonetheless.
