Sam and Nisha will become further entangled as Nisha attempts to get her shoes back. Sam, already late for work, is forced to wear the Chrisitan Louboutins to her sales call, teetering on their heels like a newborn foal. Nisha’s bag contains a pair of red Christian Louboutin shoes, a far cry from the sensible black pumps in Sam’s bag. Nisha and Sam’s lives would never have intersected if not for the fact that they used the same gym one morning and had Nisha not grabbed the wrong gym bag – Sam’s – on her way out the door. It’s a Faustian bargain she’s willing to make until, without warning, her husband disposes of her like yesterday’s garbage. Her husband controls everything, including what she wears and the care of their son. Nisha’s life is one of privilege, but it comes at a high personal cost. Her new boss, Simon, is displeased with her every move. Her husband, Phil, is out of work and deeply depressed. Sam Kemp’s job, marriage, and finances are all circling the drain. While the novel is not, in fact, a straightforward romance, the thread of love is strong enough to provide a solid seam. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am such a passionate JoJo Moyes fan that if Someone Else’s Shoes were a cyber-thriller, I would find a way to shoehorn it into the romance newsletter.
