Clicking Her Heels

This is a book that reminded me of Twenty Times a Lady but I felt that title accomplished what Clicking Her Heels didn't quite pull off. There are a few gaps and inconsistencies in the story, but if you don't worry about these things, or if you don't really notice them unless you go looking specially, they might not always catch your eye. I thought some of the characters were mentioned too fleetingly, for example the ex girlfriend who had clearly scarred Justin for life, or the momentary love interest during her time in the States, and I would have liked to know more about them.

That said, the story is generally quite neat, as the slightly inconceivable plot twists are, for the most part, handily explained - Amy's working for a travel company enabling her to get cheap worldwide flights at a moment's notice, for example.

Overall I quite liked this story but it's only good, never brilliant. Worth a space in the books-to-read stack next to your bed, but it doesn't need to be top of the pile. Shopaholics and shoeaholics might also enjoy Shopaholic and Baby. Just send us an email and we'll put the best up on the site. I've just been and counted - one pair of wellies, one pair of walking boots, one pair of sandals decent , one pair of sandals indecent and used as slippers , one pair of lace-up shoes, two pairs of court shoes, one of which was last worn twelve years ago and the other pair at my grandson's baptism seven years ago.

I'm not big on footwear!

I went and counted too: I have 1 pair of high-heeled ankle boots they kill my back, and my right foot doesn't fit anyway cause I have an almost permanently swollen ankle , 1 pair of wellies, 1 pair of men's trekking sandals Great!!! So you can see why anything that sugggests that shopping for shoes is some kind of archetypaly womanish activity makes me feel rather miffed! I regard shopping for shoes as torture. Everyone else seems to have delicate feet.

Clicking Her Heels

Jan 10, Elaine rated it liked it. A funny easy read story, made me laugh several times, a great summer read can recommend. Amy lebt in London, wo sie mit ihrem Freund Justin zusammenlebt. Ihr Hobby sind ihre Schuhe - sie sammelt sie und hat bereits eine beeindruckende Sammlung an Prada, Ferragamo, Jourdans etc. Und mit jedem Paar verbindet sie bestimmte Erinnerungen; u. Da die erste Begegnung zwischen Justin und Sergei nicht so gut ausgefallen ist, tut sie es mittlerweile heimlich. Gerade noch kann sie ihre Sachen retten und mit einem Trick ihrer besten Freundin Debbie auch einen Ausdruck der Versandadressen der Schuhe.

Was soll sie tun? Dabei lernt sie viele neue Menschen kennen und kommt auch einem Geheimnis ihrer Mutter auf die Spur. I don't think I realized before I started typing how many American cultural references are from this film; I've omitted a few, too.
