Glad to see Someone Else’s Shoes on your list. I enjoyed it. A fellow patron at the library pointed it out and recommended it to me. [/quote]
Gosh, I absolutely hated Someone Else's Shoes.  It was so deeply depressing and I didn't like a single character.  It's my most regretted book of the decade--I wish I hadn't bothered finishing it or, even better, that I'd never started it.  Yuck.[/quote]

I hated it too and I usually like Jojo Moyes' books. I didn't even find it deeply depressing like you did, my problem with it was that it wasn't deeply anything actually.  I found it superficial and asinine.[/quote]
