Why is this a perfect listen:
+Diverse characters
+Relatable personalities
+Humorous
+Relatable
+Perfect womanhood
+Friendship goals
+Sarcastic
I found this hard to get into, but I really loved it the more I read. The prime focus of this book are Isobel and Priya, and Shane pops in once in a while. I loved Shane and would like to see the others too in a sequel maybe :) It was hard to wrap my head around the many characters and POVs, but Anita Kalathara is a great narrator and does extremely well, flowing from one accent to the other with great ease.
If the amazing style of writing doesn't make you lol from time to time, you are sure to be smiling constantly! Shane is sassy and has tons of persona (my favorite character) and so are a lot of Priya's comments.
Being an Indian, I appreciate DeMornay's effort to represent various backgrounds and I think she handled some topics brilliantly in the story. The family aspect of the book is definitely worth a mention, and I found many scenes heartwarming (esp Isobel's dad)
I hope I've already convinced you to get yourself this audiobook!

i love a good female, sisterhood read, and this one did not disappoint. Stiletto Sisterhood follows a group of girls and their journey to finding their place in their own lives.
This story was deep but also very relatable and witty. I loved the relationship these women had with one another. Although they were countries and continents apart they still had the strongest friendship.
The only reason i knocked this down to 4 stars is because I felt at parts there was a lot of unnecessary fluff that could have been left out, but overall i really enjoyed it!
I would love to see another book focus more on the other women, i felt this one centered on Priya and Isabella. I would love to see more into the lives of the others.

Not only did I enjoy the book, I immensley enjoyed the storyline. Priya, Isobel, Caitlin, Eshe, and Shayne have been friends for years, and will do anything to help each other out. The bok mainly focuses on Priya and Isobel and the issues they both are dealing with. While Priya is trying to get a job with one of the best law firms/her dream job and has issues with a co worker set on destroying her, Isobel is trying to figure out what to do next after finding out her fiance has cheated on her months before the wedding and trying to take care of her father, who became disabled after an accident. But no matter what, the sisterhood is there for each other and no woman will be left behind.
This was such a great story revolving around sisterhood and friendship. The characters were relatable. There were also some funny as well as heartwarming situations in the book. I really felt bad for Isobel, but loved how her character grew. I hope there is another book that details the other ladies lives. Great job

Finally a female friendship story that isn't all about the relationships! Women are not defined by men in this book, the characters forge their own path with the support of each other. I wish the Priya story line was a bit cleaner of an ending, though. It felt rushed and unfinished but otherwise I loved it and hope for future sisterhood stories of the other girls

This is a beautiful story of friends and growth. I felt like the main love stories were Pyria's and Isobella - I mean Pryia is trying to get the dream job of her life and she is now working with an almost one-night stand who had her panties - while fending off racist, misogynist men out to get her
Isabella is a mouse of a woman who has been with her up-and-coming boyfriend since high school. Wil taking care of her dad and planning a wedding she is humiliated by a leaked sex tape and her world is turned upside down
I was into their stories and the way the other friend's stories mixed into the narration. I do feel the other ladies need a book of their own.
Although romance and love are at the forefront the story is about the friend and knowing their potential for love alone. I think this was done spectacularly to end the book with a satisfying ending
loved this and I am hoping for book # 2

Fast paced. Good story. Great female friendship. Really enjoyed. Narrator Anita Kalathara did a great job, except for Hadrian. His "voice" didn't suit him and threw me off. Really loved the strong bond and support between Priya, Isobel, Caitlin, Eshe, and Shayne. However, Caitlin and Eshe didn't really make a substantial appearance until the last quarter of the book. Shayne is a great character. Intriguing, funny, supportive. A friend every girl would want. Priya and Isobel were the main characters of this story. Both were great, but Priya especially. Her storyline I felt was much better than Isobel's and I almost eish the whole novel focused on her. Isobel's storyline felt a little boring next to Priya's. I think author Fallon DeMornay could write a book focused on each of the friends of the sisterhood and really flesh them out. If i could give inbetween ratings, I would probably but this at 3.75 stars.

Isobel is planning her dream wedding while trying to level up in her career with a promotions she's long been vying for, when a video of her Fiance cheating goes viral and she sees it for the first time on Live TV. Never fear, the Stiletto Sisterhood is here! Priya, Isobel, Caitlin, Shayne, and Eshe are best friends, but sisters by choice and have sworn a vow to "Chase Dreams not Drama", when Isobel's devastating news is captured for the world to see, the sister band together to help and pick her back up. With a found family, Sisterhood of Travelling Pants (in this case, Stiletto's) kind of vibe, this story of female friendship was filled with witty remarks and funny sarcasm to boot.
I really wanted to love this book but there were many components that I felt were missing that I just couldn't ignore. What I did love about this book was the representation of strong female friendship, the bond between these women was entertaining and enjoyable to read. That said, there were a number of unbelievable parts of the story, for example one of the women being a Royal? Also, this story mainly follows the lives of Isobel and Priya while leaving out a fair amount about the rest of the ladies in the sisterhood. My rating would be higher if the fluff in the storyline would have been filled with more of the lives of the other sisters. Overall I enjoyed the narration of this book, it kept me engaged but I don't think I would have been so intrigued if I would have read a physical copy. If you enjoyed The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, you will likely enjoy this book as it definitely is an attempt at a grown up version.

Ok so to be honest I started this book months ago but put it down cuz I wasn’t in the mood to read anything but a romance but when I picked it back up I immediately became enthralled with the characters and their stories. The love these ladies have for each other is something every women should have in their life. The ending was good just not what I expected
