"In Her Shoes" by Jennifer Weiner:Rose is a thirty-year-old attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She's going to start exercising next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses and tell her she's beautiful. Maggie is twenty-eight and drop-dead gorgeous. Although her stardom hasn't progressed past her hip's appearance in a music video, she dreams of fame and fortune. These two sisters claim to have nothing in common but DNA, a childhood tragedy, and a shoe size, but when they're forced into cohabitation, they may just learn that they're more alike than they thought. (Summary courtesy of Simon & Schuster.)
Melissa P:
I loved the dynamic between Maggie and Rose and how they were so different from one another. I also loved seeing their relationship play out throughout the book.
Melissa A:
Just when I thought nothing could be better than "Good in Bed," Jen Weiner outdid herself. I was engrossed the whole way through. While I could relate more to Rose, I loved reading Maggie's side of the story. The book is better than the movie, although I did like Toni Collette as Rose.

I've been meaning to read this one but the movie version turned me off for some reason. I know, don't judge a book by its movie.. I'll give it another shot.

This is one of the best books. This summer I ended up at the facility where the movie wS filmed. It was kind of cool. I kept walking around thinking gee this looks really familiar. I finally asked why and they said have you ever heard of the movie In Her Shoes? Then they told me it was filmed there. Picture jaw hitting the floor! Lol
I loved the movie and just recently acquired the book but have not read it yet.

The only Jennifer Weiner book I've read has been "Good In Bed" but she has such a loyal following I may have to give some other titles a chance! Enjoyed your guest post on International Chick Lit Month!
I never read the book, but I enjoyed the movie.

Like comments before I've watched the movie (which I loved) but have to admit to my ignorance, I had no idea it was a book!!!
I think the book will explore the emotions more in-depth ......
I have seen the movie several times but have never read the book. Gonna have to!
Thanks!

Haven't read this one yet either, but I do have a copy so I will get to it eventually. I did, however, really love the movie. I also loved Jennifer's other book Best Friends Forever, so I am looking forward to this.

This was one book I loved; I also really like the film too even though I'm not a big fan of Cameron Diaz

I had seen the movie and wasn't overly impressed (my dislike of Cameron Diaz negatively biased me) but I'm so glad that didn't prevent me from reading the book because I would have been missing out!

I have wanted to read this!

I've read this book more than once and Jennifer Weiner is one of my favorite authors. As a mother with two daughters, it was intriguing to see the dynamics between the sisters and their father, and then later, their grandmother. I recommend this book to everyone I know.
