From amazon:
The Feller sisters are equal but opposite. Maggie is the good-looking, dyslexic little sister who knows how to get anything she wants--but not how to keep it. She "felt as if somewhere between the ages of fourteen and sixteen she'd walked off the edge of a cliff and had been falling ever since." Rose is the plump, practical, responsible older sister who knows about law but not much about her own happiness: "What did she like, besides shoes, and Jim, and foods that were bad for her?" When Maggie's latest eviction lands her in Rose's apartment, and Maggie insults Rose by seducing one of her sister's rare boyfriends, what follows is a chain of events by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Embarrassed Rose evicts Maggie and begins a work sabbatical leading to a new livelihood and way of living. Maggie flees and runs away to Princeton. Masquerading as a student, she learns to love poetry and saves money for a trip to Miami--and a visit to a long-lost grandmother named Ella who might offer her a last shot at sanctuary. But In Her Shoes, the second novel from Good in Bed author Jennifer Weiner, is about more than the sisters' latest sibling rivalry; Maggie and Rose must sort out the childhood vulnerabilities and family mysteries that still linger two decades after their mother's death. In less capable hands, the plot might grow corny, but Weiner's humor and affection for the characters ultimately helps them transcend both neuroses and grief and learn the redemptive power of love. --Jane Hodges

I love Weiner and was not disappointed even though I had seen the movie. I could picture the movie cast as I read. Not having a sister I didn't have firsthand knowledge of that type of relationship...but could understand the love hate relationship. A great read for our winter holiday to Yuma and Sedona with sing song.

Having a wonderful holiday with sing song so passing on to her.

Crossingguardma passed this on to me while we were on holidays together. Finished it in Sedona. the one sister drove me crazy BUT she finally got her life together. Enjoyed the story and glad they worked things out. Sisterhood is complicated.

Picked this up at the March BookCrossing meeting.

I watched the movie quite some time ago but don't really remember it so it didn't spoil the book for me at all. I enjoyed the book.

Taking this to the August BookCrossing meeting to be enjoyed by the next reader.

Picked up at get together

A very nice read. I've enjoyed this author's writing style before. I just always have trouble when I've watched the movie before the reading the story - it some how slows down my reading/enjoyment of the book. It definitely took longer than I would have liked for the one character to stop blaming everything on other people and her past, and start actually adulting responsibly. Otherwise it was a good story of people trying to figure out their lives, and familial relationships (definitely not always easy between sisters). On a whole it resolved nicely, and not perfectly (which is better in this case).

Thanks for the read.

Brought this book home from the July Meet Up at Cravings.

Brought this book home from the July Meet Up at Cravings. I thought this looked familiar and just thought I had heard it talked about. I'll bring it back next time.
