Rating:  - In her shoes
The first 2/3 of the book is really good and believable. The writing still is not impressive, but I read 2/3 of the book in something like 2 days, and I was very amused and entertained. But the ending of the book was way too cheesy for my, and I really had a hard time believing in the book (it's like the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie... the last half an hour should also have been cut out). The book became so bad in the end that it toke me 2 weeks to read the last 1/3 of the book. And I did not enjoy ... Read More

I would highly recommend this book or any book by Jennifer Weiner. It is a definite read for anyone who has a sister.
Rating: - Great Read! Jen Weiner Did it again!
I am currently on a misson to read all of Jennifer Weiner's work. I started with Good in bed ( slow start, but a great book) then on to Good Night Nobody ( I really connected with this book, loved it) Little Eathquakes ( my current Favorite) and just finished In her shoes. I really enjoyed, In her Shoes. I read this book in two days, as a busy working Mom that is nearly impossible. Take the plunge, read all JW's books! I am startting on Certain girls next!
Rating:  - Pretty good
Two sisters could not be more different. Rose, the together, prim and proper attorney and Maggie, the beautiful, disorganized, mess. They are forced to cohabitate after Maggie runs short of money, causing a shock to Rose's world. However, they both have some things in common: they hate their stepmother, they would like to meet the grandmother they were cut off from when their mother passed away, and they are looking for men who will not turn out to be jerks (which does not turn out to be an easy task). ...
