Someone Else's Shoes is a contemporary novel of crossed paths, comic mishaps, and unexpected second chances from bestselling author Jojo Moyes.
Nisha Cantor has built her life around wealth, luxury, and status—until her husband abruptly demands a divorce and cuts her off. Overnight, the glamorous world she relies on disappears, leaving her scrambling to hold on to the only identity she has ever known.
Sam Kemp, meanwhile, is stretched thin at home and at work, doing everything she can to keep her family going. When she accidentally walks away from the gym with Nisha’s designer bag, she discovers a pair of striking red high heels that give her a surprising surge of confidence and a glimpse of who she might become.
As Nisha and Sam’s lives become entangled, both women are pushed to reconsider what really matters: security, self-respect, friendship, and the courage to change. Blending humour, sharp observation, and emotional warmth, Moyes explores how an ordinary moment—a mix-up in the locker room—can transform the course of a life.
