Summary: Jennifer Weiner has done it again!
Comment: Having read Good In Bed, I couldn't wait to read Jennifer Weiner's second novel. I wondered if it would be as good as her debut effort. The answer is a resounding YES!
In Her Shoes is a story about two sisters who have nothing in common, save for their size feet. Rose Feller is a successful Princeton-educated attorney who loves food and romance novels. Her younger sister, Maggie Feller, is a drop-dead gorgeous fashionista whose only ambition is to become a big Hollywood star. But instead of crashing cast parties with A-list celebrities, Maggie is often unemployed and in trouble -- and Rose has to constantly bail her out.
When a family secret and a wayward grandmother resurface, these two women are forced to reassess their lives and learn what it's like to be in the other person's shoes. There are some interesting twists in the novel.
Jennifer Weiner has again delved into human relationships with refreshing clarity and wit to boot. In Her Shoes is not quite as gripping as Good In Bed, but it is wonderful and poignant nonetheless. Weiner, like Marian Keyes and Anna Maxtet, touches on real issues that affect today's woman. Her novels are above today's run-of-the-mill, must-find-a-potential-husband-before-I-turn-thirty chick lit. And so I urge you to pick up this gem!

Summary: A Great Read -- not what I expected!
Comment: I expected a light-hearted book when I began reading In Her Shoes but that is not necessarily what I got. There are some humorous aspects to the novel but in general it's a dramatic novel that takes a second look at the lives of two sisters with opposite personalities. Weiner spins a tale of two sisters that could be friends or neighbors and the remarkable thing is she gets the details just right. Weiner's message is pretty clear throughout the entire book. Success cannot be achieved unless self-acceptance and love are acquired first. The two girls eventually have happy lives only before they take breaks from each other and figure out what each of them really wants in life first. In her Shoes is a great sophomore novel. A good purchase!

Summary: In Her Shoes
Comment: Well, I'm actually reading this book right now, because it was recommended in this magazine I read. I'm reading it in hebrew, but by browsing in the author's website, I can see it's translated in her style, and really well - might I add.
I really like the book, especially the parts with Ella. I'd defenatly recomend In Her Shoes.
