I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book had all my favorite things! Shoes, Clothes, secrets, hot sex, a fantastic gay couple, and did I mention shoes???
This is a great story about what one does after your dream life doesn’t happen. The first chapter drew me in perfectly with the comparison of life to shoes. I am a shoe fanatic and believe that shoes are a very important and personal part of a person.
There are so many fun parts to this book! But the relationship between Haley and Nick and how it grew and changed over the course of the story was by far one of my favorite parts of the story. I also loved the tight friendships between Haley and her friends. It was unique to see even close relationships can have their up’s and down’s-but in the end that love for a friend can beat just about anything in a person’s troubled life.
I loved the reality of that going to New York to make it big didn’t happen, but hard work and loyalty produced far better results. It is fun to see how a dynamic duo can make a boutique such a success!
This book covered so many things, from friendship, to love, to how to deal with adult family member’s in your life…and the disappoint that they can leave you with. I also think that as the book went along, Haley’s character grew and changed and truly grew up. This was fun to read and “watch”.
I believe the only thing that was a little disappointing was the very immature relationship that she developed quickly with Keegan. But I understood by the end of the book it was part of watching her grow and change. It was a relationship I would compare to a much younger person having, and for her age it seems off.
I was satisfied by the end of the book that the author covered all sides to the story. It was a very well developed story and really kept my interest throughout the book.
