In Shoe Addict Anonymous, I feel so connected with Helene character. In Secrets of a Shoe Addict, I fell for Tiffany. Not because we shared the same character, but because of the way we were mistreated. Try this passage, on page 168 – 169

“Why are you so cowed by him” Sandra asked quietly

“I’m not.” Tiffany met Sandra’s eyes. “It’s just easier than arguing”

“Why?”

“Because if I argue, there’s always some sort of retribution, and I’m not in the mood for that today”

A cold chill ran through Sandra.”Like what kind of retribution?”

“Stony silence, being short with the kids. Just big, impossible-to-ignore-unpleasantness.You know, it doesn’t matter how big your house is, the strongest mood always wins. And if I piss him off….. its going to put him in a pretty crappy mood. And I just don’t want to deal with it.

Yes, I can hear you Tiffany.

Now, this book is about 4 friends who are caught in man and money trouble. With the help of Sandra, Tiffany’s sister, they got themselves into business and soon enough bonded well as friends. Each have to deal with their problem separately but together, they give each other support and help needed.

Yes, this book ended well, just like life – which is full of sad and happy ending.

This book is about friendship and trust, not about shoes.

It is a must read for woman like me who need to be inspired all the time.
