Publisher Description
A story of mix-ups, mess-ups and making the most of second chances, this is the new novel from international sensation Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You and The Giver of Stars
'A delightful reverse-Cinderella story of two women who seem polar opposites - until circumstance forces them to experience each other's lives. Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does - recognizably real and complex and funny and flawed' JODI PICOULT
Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else's shoes?
Meet Sam . . .
She's not got much, but she's grateful for what she has: a job she's just about clinging on to and a family who depend on her for everything. She knows she's one bad day away from losing it all - and just hopes today isn't it . . .
Meet Nisha . . .
She's got everything she always dreamed of - and more: a phenomenally rich husband; an international lifestyle; and . . . she's just been locked out of all of it after her husband initiates divorce proceedings . . .
Sam and Nisha should never have crossed paths. But after a bag mix-up at the gym, their lives become intertwined - even as they spiral out of control.
Each blames the other as they feel increasingly invisible, forgotten, lost - and desperately alone.
But they're not.
No woman is an island. Look around. Family. Friends. Strangers.
Even the woman you believe just ruined your life might turn out to be your best friend.
Because together you can do anything - like take back what is yours . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The premise of JoJo Moyes’s novel answers the question of what would happen if an author were to take an everyday phrase and turn it into a plotline. Nisha and Sam, the two unlikely (and flawed) heroines in Someone Else’s Shoes are two people who would never have met if not for an unfortunate belongings mix-up at the gym. Nisha is unpleasant, entitled and privileged but suddenly finds herself forced to fend for herself when her husband announces he wants a divorce. Sam on the other hand has been gradually downtrodden by various circumstances in her own life, but finds a glimmer of hope when she accidentally picks up Nisha’s belongings at the gym. From there it’s a case of Sliding Doors meets One Fine Day as the two women battle to get their lives back on track. Moyes seamlessly weaves the two women’s stories together as you find yourself rooting for them both against all odds.
