Just in time for beach-read season, Beth Harbison's Shoe Addicts Anonymous, $18, is a great escape while killing time baking under the sun (don't forget your sunscreen)!
Four women from Washington, D.C. meet weekly to swap and talk about, what else but shoes! Lorna Rafferty tries to get a handle on her massive consumer debt by posting an Internet ad looking to trade footwear with women who, like herself, have good taste. A senator's trophy wife, Helene Zaharis, wants to escape her loveless marriage. Sandra Vanderslice, an overweight phone sex operator struggles to overcome her agoraphobia long enough to attend the shoe meetings. The last and newest member, Joss Bowen, couldn't care less about shoes but nevertheless uses them as a reason to get out of the house.
Who knows what will happen next, but it sure sounds shoe-licious!
