in her shoes — jennifer weiner

4 stars

Two sis­ters: Rose, the depend­able one, and Mag­gie, the free spirit. It seems the only thing they have in com­mon is their shoe size and their taste in shoes.
When Mag­gie is in trou­ble (again, I might add) and Rose is, again, the one who can pick up the pieces, their rela­tion­ship is really stretched to its limit. Mag­gie show­ing no respect to her sis­ter and her way of life, really goes too far when she is caught in her sis­ters bed with her sis­ters boyfriend. Rose now com­pletely loses it and throws Mag­gie out. Out, to never ever come back.
And that is the moment both their lives com­pletely change. Mag­gie learns from her long lost grand­mother Ella what it means to respect peo­ple and not just use them. Rose learns that there is more to life than work as a lawyer and that there are nice men who want to be with her.
After some time both sis­ters are doing fine by them­selves, but will they ever reconcile?
