I recently finished listening to an incredible audiobook and can't stop thinking about it! In Someone Else's Shoes by JoJo Moyers was an absolute delight. The characters of Nisha and Sam are so well-developed, and their story is truly captivating. Nisha and Sam couldn't be more different - one is wealthy, and the other is not. Their lives collide when a mix-up involving expensive shoes leads to a series of unfortunate events. Nisha is desperate to retrieve her shoes as they hold significant value in her divorce proceedings, while Sam is torn between returning the shoes and her love for them. It's a rollercoaster of emotions - from laughter to joy and even a few tears. The audiobook is narrated by Daisy Ridley, who does an incredible job bringing the story to life. I can't recommend this book enough - it's a definite five-star read, and I'm eager to explore more of JoJo's work in the future. ( )

This is a fun book; I don't want all my suggestions to be serious fare. Several people, including Jan Rivero, recommended it to me when I was looking for books to cheer me up. I think the setup is like The Prince and the Pauper--two women accidentally pick up the other's bag at the gym. As each experiences something of the other one's life, awkward and funny encounters occur but some new understands too. The book is a bit long 400+ pages, it is a fast read.
CHPL has many paper copies, as well as audio and ebook formats. The paperback edition came out this week.

Story of two women who accidently take each other’s gym bag. This book could have been 50 pages shorter. ( )

Sam stares up at the slowly lightening ceiling and practices her breathing, like the doctor advised her, as she tries to stop her 5 a.m. thoughts congealing into one enormous dark cloud above her head.
