Heart and Sole by Miranda Liasson
4.0
Here's the downfall with reading fiction: now that I've finished Heart and Sole, I WANT THOSE SHOES.
Seriously, Maddie and a mystery character (not giving anything away; you're going to have to read it yourself!) design some fantastic-sounding shoes--they're gorgeous AND comfortable. I. Must. Have.
Could a non-fictional shoe company get right on that? Thanks.
Back to the book--it's an adorable read. It had kind of a Romeo and Juliet (without the sucky ending)-slash-Persuasion vibe going on that I really enjoyed. Nothing can beat a well-written second-chance romance story, and the small town summer weekend setting made it a perfect read for a lazy afternoon in a hammock :)
Nick and Maddie were a great couple--if anyone deserved a second chance, it was definitely them. The family dynamics going on in the story--Maddie's parents, brother, sister, sister-in-law and twin nephews and Nick's grandfather--were definitely a plus. Maddie's grandmother was a major pain in the butt (but on the plus side, I totally called her big secret--ha!) but a necessary foil to the other characters. All in all, I really enjoyed this one from start to finish.
But I still want some of those shoes.
Dare I hope for a story featuring Maddie's sister and Nick's partner next? ;)
