I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The first half of the book feels incredibly slow as Jojo Moyes sets up her premise--Nisha's entitled, abrasive personality and the suspension of disbelief don't help the pacing. The lack of realism persists throughout the novel as three sets of people (which eventually become two sets of people) frantically try to regain a pair of red Christian Louboutin heels. The highlight of the book is the eventual friendship between Nisha, Sam, and a few other key players. If you love a good revenge story, the ending will satisfy you.
