Publisher Description

Four different women. One common shoe size. And a shared lust for fabulous footwear. In this sparkling novel, the wife of a controlling politician, a debt-ridden eBay addict, an agoraphobic phone sex operator, and a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house) meet Tuesday nights to trade shoes, and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems—from secret pasts to blackmail, bankruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, Shoe Addicts Anonymous is the perfect summer listen.

"Very quick read, very easy to get into. A couple of corny feel--good friend moments, but nothing too sappy. A good read for anyone who likes chick lit, but I assume it would be especially good for someone who knows anything about designer shoes, which I don't."

— Venassa (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I love shoes so I thought this might be good, but it was a little too trashy for me. The language was a bit crude at times too. I did enjoy the basic story line of the 4 women who grew together in their troubles because of a mutual love of shoes. "
