In Your Shoes by Donna Gephart

3.0

Not my favorite of hers. Amy is justifiably upset but so self-centered that she just doesn't make a sympathetic protagonist for me. Yes, horrible things have happened to her, but they've happened to others. She had to leave her home, and dog, in Chicago, she texts with her best friend from there as she adjusts to a new place, new school and no friends. The texts are IN the book. Not once does she bother to ask how Kat is doing, if she's made new friends, if she's okay. It's just a jumbled mess of a book for me. The only thing that really rang true was Randall's asthma, having had two sons with severe asthma, and allergies, that was written well, though the party idea was horrible - you don't rid a home of allergens by locking the cat in a bedroom and vacuuming well. The rest was not up to her usual standards - for me.
