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.
Embarrassed Rose evicts Maggie and begins a work sabbatical leading to a new livelihood and way of living. 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. Maggie is the good-looking, dyslexic little sister who knows how to get anything she wants-but not how to keep it.
They'll borrow shoes and clothes and boyfriends, and eventually make peace with their most intimate enemies - each other.The Feller sisters are equal but opposite. Along the way, they'll encounter a diverse cast of characters - from a stepmother who's into recreational Botox to a disdainful pug with no name. These two women, who claim to have nothing in common but a childhood tragedy, DNA, and the same size feet, are about to learn that they're more alike than they'd ever imagined. Although her big-screen stardom hasn't progressed past her left hip's appearance in a Will Smith video, Maggie dreams of fame and fortune - and of getting her big sister on a skin-care regimen. Twenty-eight years old and drop-dead gorgeous.
She also dreams of getting her fantastically screwed-up, semi-employed little sister to straighten up and fly right. She has an exercise regime she's going to start next week, and she dreams of a man who will slide off her glasses, gaze into her eyes, and tell her she's beautiful. Meet Rose Feller, a thirty-year-old high-powered attorney with a secret passion for romance novels. From Jennifer Weiner comes a story of two sisters with nothing in common but a love for shoes learn they are more alike than they thought possible.
