Challenge Corner discussion

Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else’s shoes?

Nisha Cantor lives the globetrotting life of the seriously wealthy, until her husband announces a divorce and cuts her off. Nisha is determined to hang onto her glamorous life. But in the meantime, she must scramble to cope--she doesn’t even have the shoes she was, until a moment ago, standing in.

That’s because Sam Kemp – in the bleakest point of her life – has accidentally taken Nisha’s gym bag. But Sam hardly has time to worry about a lost gym bag--she’s struggling to keep herself and her family afloat. When she tries on Nisha’s six-inch high Christian Louboutin red crocodile shoes, the resulting jolt of confidence that makes her realize something must change—and that thing is herself.

(view spoiler)[I thought the first part of these 10 chapters was too funny in certain parts. I can't imagine taking the wrong bag and then end up going to such an important meeting in 6 inch heels...that's nothing I can wear anymore and Sam is 45. Not a spring chick. But the things she and Nisha did because of that exchange was too funny.

On the other hand what a freaking a-hole Carl is OMG! How on earth could you do what he did to someone you've been married to for 18 years! He's a JERK!! I keep wondering if Nisha actually did anything at all that he can try to use to justify his cold-heartedness to leave her totally penniless with no alternatives. I just can't believe he did that to her and won't even let her get her own things. I don't feel like she did anything but I am wondering. How else could he have done that? Curious to find out!

Through Ch. 20
(view spoiler)[Not a lot else has happened except I can’t get my mind off a $6700 coat! Lol Charlotte wearing her coat would be such a slap in the face. Carl just shows himself more and more to be a total jerk! Why on earth does he want those shoes? I couldn’t believe he laughed right in Nisha’s face. I feel like strangling him!
Phil is just going a little psycho on the red shoes. He’s going crazy with all of his fantasies of what Sam does in them and with whom! lol
Through Ch. 30
(view spoiler)[I was busting up laughing when Jasmine told Nisha about putting itching powder in Carls’s underwear. I love it! Lol
I was happy that Andrea’s doctor appointment went well for her.
I don’t’ know about the scheme to get back the shoes, but I hope she does and that Carl honors what he said and she’ll get some money, mainly so she can get her poor son. I feel so bad for Ray. His dad basically considers him dead to him all because he’s gay? That’s so unforgivable! It breaks my heart that Ray tried to commit suicide! I just hope Nisha can get the shoes and get him before he possibly tries again and worse yet could be successful.
Finished
(view spoiler)[OMG! I was dying when Nisha was in the hotel room, under their bed, and having to stay underneath while they were having sex. I can imagine her panic, but I was cracking up!
So the shoes had diamonds in them…wow! Carl was not only a jerk but he’s also a crook! I’m glad that Nisha finally had a backbone and Carl got what was coming to him. She outsmarted him in the end. I was also happy that Sam and Phil are working on their marriage because I think they stand a good chance, but thank God Carl is out of Nisha’s life and she has Ray back!

I also love how by the end of the book that the women ended up friends. :) (hide spoiler)]
