About this eBook
From Jennifer Weiner comes a story of two sisters with nothing in common but a love for shoes learn they are more alike than they thought possible.
Meet Rose Feller, a thirty-year-old high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. She has an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her she's beautiful. She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up, semi-employed little sister to straighten up and fly right.
Meet Rose's sister, Maggie. Twenty-eight years old and drop-dead gorgeous. Although her big-screen stardom hasn't progressed past her left hip's appearance in a Will Smith video, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune -- and of getting her big sister on a skin-care regimen.
These two women, who claim to have nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that they're more alike than they'd ever imagined. Along the way, they'll encounter a diverse cast of characters -- from a stepmother who's into recreational Botox to a disdainful pug with no name. They'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and eventually make peace with their most intimate enemies -- each other.

I enjoyed the book, but I felt like the ending was rushed. I understand forgiveness at the end, but that was the quickest form of it that I've come across. After reading about so much change between the two sisters I expected more moments between them, not a quick wrap up. Overall I loved the storyline and the movie I loved even more.

I very much enjoyed this book as I do many of Jennifer Weiner's books buit this one was near the top of my list. It really does give you another perspective on how wrong our perceptions of people, especially those we love can be off base. It's a story of two sister, although opposite of each other, love each other and grow into a life of happiness and a sense of completion.

The first time I read it I thought "this is me and my sister". So well written and very touching. And then when the movie came out it helped with the visualization, but still wasn't as good. I'll always love this book and feel a connection to it.
