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)

— Lia, 11/1/2012 -
" A definite chick book. I felt it was brainless but I ended up enjoying it. This is a series of books and I have not decided if I want to continue through the series. I think it is time for something that challenges my mind a bit. "
— Dotty, 9/17/2012 -

" I'd callit "Confessions of a Shopaholic"starts a support group with more trashiness. It was a fun story and a super-easy read. I did skip a page here and there, just so ya' know. "
— Becky, 6/25/2011 -
" 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. "
— Andekim2, 6/23/2011 -
" Not much depth to this book and rather predictable. "
— Gay, 6/22/2011 -

" This was a fun book! I really enjoyed the read. "
— Jennifer, 5/10/2011 -
" Standard chick-lit. Easy read, light, entertaining. I liked that this book wasn't all boys, boys, boys (except for the last few chapters) like most chick-lit books are. And the main characters' job struggles are certainly relatable at this point in my life. "
— Kristy, 5/6/2011 -
" That was supremely fun AND satisfying. I can't wait to read the next one! "
— February, 5/1/2011 -
" This was a fun story. I like reading stories that are set in the DC area - especially with areas I'm familiar with. I also like shoes - now I don't think I can relate to the addicted part but I like stories where people turn there life around and end up happy! "
— Cheryl, 4/27/2011 -
" This book was pure chic lit and I loved it. I listened to it on CD during a road trip and could not stop chuckling. If you have an itch for good shoes, you could probably relate to some of parts of the book. Other than the ending been a bit rushed/abrupt, it was a hoot -:o) "
— Kemi, 4/25/2011 -
" I LOVED this book! It was so witty and entertaining, not to mention all about shoes! I wish something like this club really existed...it's sp perfect for me! "
— Charlea, 3/31/2011 -
" kind of like the shopaholic series, but you don't want to shake the main characters throughout the whole book. super cute, definitely recommend "
— Lauren, 3/22/2011 -
" Enjoyed and highly recommend it to chick lit fans! "
