In Her Shoes

De: Jennifer Weiner

Narrado por: Barbara McCulloh

From Jennifer Weiner comes a story of two sisters with nothing in common but a love for shoes learn they are more alike than they thought possible.

Meet Rose Feller, a thirty-year-old high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She has an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her she's beautiful. She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up, semi-employed little sister to straighten up and fly right.

Meet Rose's sister, Maggie. Twenty-eight years old and drop-dead gorgeous. Although her big-screen stardom hasn't progressed past her left hip's appearance in a Will Smith video, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune -- and of getting her big sister on a skin-care regimen.

These two women, who claim to have nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that they're more alike than they'd ever imagined. Along the way, they'll encounter a diverse cast of characters -- from a stepmother who's into recreational Botox to a disdainful pug with no name. They'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and eventually make peace with their most intimate enemies -- each other.

Keep listening

The first couple chapters I thought this was going to be a waste of my time (wasn’t a huge fan of the crude opening) and I’m glad I kept listening. Nice story of two sisters with a complicated and dysfunctional family.

Great but mistakes

The story and performance are awesome but chapter 53 is repeated. Once in track "chapter 51" and again in track "chapter 52".

Didn't want it to end

What made the experience of listening to In Her Shoes the most enjoyable?

I coudl really feel teh characters through the narartor.

Have you listened to any of Barbara McCulloh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No but I will again.

If you could take any character from In Her Shoes out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Rose, I related to her the most.

Great story and narration

Completely different than the movie. It's a great story and the narrator was amazing. It was hard to put down and definitely one of my favorites.

Loved this book!

I knew the story from the film version. But the book, as usual, is more in depth and different from the film so it kept surprising me. I love Jennifer Weiner, she makes me laugh and cry and is always entertaining. It was a good summer listen while in Mexico and traveling back and forth on the plane. I always enjoyed the narrator. Her character voices were great and also made me laugh and cry.
