This was a reread for me. I read this in my early twenties and now reading in my late 30‘s and it was a different experience. Held up really well and one of my favorite novels by Jennifer Weiner.

In true 2020 fashion, I broke my knee at work a few days ago.
Right after I started this job I cracked some bones in my foot. Which means I have mostly been in sketchers for the last two years. But I love shoes. And most look like the ones pictured. Yesterday was national Dress@day and I ordered 4 new dresses. And I have wonderful shoes to go with them. So today I shall try the ones pictured. I've warn some of my medium wedges but not a full heal for a while. We shall see how it goes.
This is my book that has been made into a movie that I have already seen for my #popsugar18 challenge.
Also my 3/20 for my #MountTBRchallenge @DivaDiane
Very good. Enjoyed reading this after watching the movie many times even though to start with I was comparing the characters and the scenes to the film, I learnt to see the book for what it was and that was beautiful, entertaining and romantic in its own right.

Wish I had done this with the tagged book as I am currently reading it and I can see the actors playing the characters and the story is so different getting to the scenes in the film. So even though I am enjoying it there is a slight tinge of disappointment📚📖
Really well written and nuanced characters. Both sisters are poles apart and yet you would understand their relationship. It's a beautifully written tale of how the fact that you are siblings will usually overpower any shit you put each other through, solely because you've been there for each other through the shit that life put you through. The beginning may be a bit polarising, but read past it even if you don't like how it starts. So worth it.
Still reading this, and I'm torn between disliking Maggie and feeling bad for her. Liking Ella and waiting for her to enter their story. I'm surprised I remember hardly anything even having read it before. Really well nuanced characters = huge plus.
Halfway through reading this - I've read it before a few years back but I've totally forgotten the gist. Reading an ePub file on my kindle. Well fleshed out characters, I'm actually curious about figuring out 'what next?'
Day 9 #JubilantJuly #shoesoncovers Five books that I've read with shoes on the cover, plus one (The Witch's Daughter) from my #TBR stack. 👠📚👢📚👡📚👟
There are a surprising number of books with #ShoesontheCover including all of these. #jubilantjuly @RealLifeReading
I will always have a soft spot for this story (set in Philly) as it was the first time I read "I Carry Your Heart With Me" by e.e. cummings. The poem made such an impression on me that it was read at our wedding several years later (along with the lyrics to "Grow Old With You" from The Wedding Singer ?). #rockinmay #philadelphiafreedom #shinethelight #ifearnofate #iwantnoworld
A pretty predictable book, but I really liked how everything wrapped up in the end. #LitsyAtoZ #I✔
I love books mentioned in a book. I also love Their Eyes Were Watching God! It's time to add it to my reread list!
I haven't had many chances to pull out the snow boots this winter, but they're coming out for today's prompt Books & Boots!

How many things can change the way you view a relationship with a sister? This is one.
