A Shoe Story
Jane L. Rosen
Esme Nash is eager to leave her small town and begin her carefully planned post-grad life: a move to New York City, an apartment with her loving college boyfriend, and a fancy job at an art gallery. But when tragedy strikes, instead of heading to Manhattan, she returns home to care for her ailing father, leaving every bit of her dream behind.
Seven trying years later, Esme is offered a dog-sitting job in Greenwich Village by a mysterious stranger, giving her access to all of her long-buried hopes and dreams—as well as to an epic collection of designer shoes. Esme jumps at a second chance to step into the future she's sure was meant to be hers.
As she retraces her steps, one pair of borrowed shoes at a time, making new friends and reconnecting with her old love, Esme tries on versions of herself she didn’t know existed. But the hazy August days and warm summer nights pass too quickly, and Esme must decide how much of the life she imagined still fits, and what—and who—is on the road ahead of her.
My Review Minus Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BY ME!!💙💙🎧📚
I listened to this via Audio though the Libby app. This Book was honestly what I needed. I loved the journey of Esme. I loved her character so so much. I laughed, I cried, the shoes… Perfection. It took place with my favorite place to visit, NYC. Esme’s Journey was like a journey for me too. I loved who she interacted with ( I will not give it away.) I loved that she was a dog sitter and her journey on self determination, discovery and working on trying to overcome heartbreak. This is my second book by the author and I was blown away by this story. It’s a Gem. I felt like it was. The characters will stay with me especially two that I will not say who made me a blubbering mess. Great Read.
