Four different women. One common shoe size. And a shared lust for fabulous footwear.

Helene Zaharis's politician husband keeps her on a tight leash and cancels her credit cards as a way of controlling her. Lorna Rafferty is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addiction to eBay. Sandra Vanderslice, battling agoraphobia, pays her shoe bills by working as a phone-sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen is a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house.)

On Tuesday nights, these women meet to trade shoes and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems---from secret pasts to blackmail, bankruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, Shoe Addicts Anonymous is a perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect ?t.

    excellent for a light summer read
    The title of this book really drew me in. I didn't have very high expectations as the story sounded a little weak, but I just had to try and read it. I was pleasantly suprised with how smart this book was! I felt all the characters were really well-rounded and relateable with many different sides to them. I cannot wait to read more from Beth Harbison!

    Fun Read...with Shoes!
    Chick-lit fans will definitely enjoy this novel! It was a cute, fun chick-lit book about four women, who at first glance seem to have very little in common, but come together because of their love for shoes. The women have extremely different lives (from a politician's wife to a nanny) and extremely different problems, but each of them had aspects of their lives or personal problems that I could (and I think most women will) relate to. The ending did not tie up the stories of the girls but I suspect this was planned as there is now a sequel to this book, Secrets of a Shoe Addict, which came out in July 2009. Planning on picking that one up soon :)

    meh
    So basically, it was an interesting idea, intriguing concept for chick lit and then it just went no where. The ending wasn't conclusive, the characters were wacky but severely lacking in development or likability. I kept reading in hopes that it'd get better, it didn't. The ideas were all there and they were great, but the book just turned out to be a total blah.

    Loved this book!!
    I thought this book was absolutely hilarious. It was very easy to read - and even easier to get into. I fell in love with the characters, and found myself really relating to them. I would definitely recommend this book.

    Shoe Addicts Anonymous
    If you are a fan of the Shopaholic & Sex and the City series you will love Shoe Addicts Anonymous & its sequel Secrets of a Show Addict by Beth Harbison. These books will keep you laughing in disbelief at the mess these ladies find themselves in. From a series of blind dates that really go wrong, to operating a profitable phone sex operation to tailing a private detective, these ladies really take the cake. It's real women trying to find themselves through support of their friends.

    Great beach read
    This book is a cross between Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Nanny Diaries and Sex and the City. I enjoyed all of the characters, they all come from different backgrounds and jobs. The main character has an obsession with footwear and finds herself financially challenged. She decides to form a weekly support group for people like her, 'shoes addicts anonymous'. This book is really enjoyable, a great beach read. I read it in one sitting. I will be reading the sequel soon.

    Good Beach Read
    I picked up this book for the beach. It wasn't bad. It isn't one of my favorite books, I found the story line a little lacking at times, but I would say this book is worth reading once at least.

    just finished it!
    I waited for the softcover to come out before buying it. I was so excited to see it on the shelves! Once again I found myself investing so much into the storyline. I really related to the topic & characters & couldn't put it down. I definitely recommend this to other chick lit fanatics!

    Fun book full of shoes!!
    This is a fun book with interesting women characters from different walks of life bonding together over their love of shoes. They have a lot of problems in their lives, no matter how good their life may look to other members of the group. They help each other get more shoes, plus deal with all of lifes problems. This was fun and I'd definitely recommend it as a fun, light read. I'd probably wait for the softcover before buying it though, it is such a quick read.
