Shoe Addicts Anonymous (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Jun 12, 2007; Writer: Beth Harbison; Genre: Fiction; Publisher: St. Martin's Press

After seeing a quirky bulletin on ''Gregslist.biz,'' four lonely D.C.-area women meet weekly to swap footwear in Beth Harbison’s Shoe Addicts Anonymous. The waitress, nanny, senator's wife, and phone-sex operator come for the Maglis, but stay for the friendships...and the wine.

Biological Ticktock
The senator's wife gets pregnant, but needs the others' help to actually notice.

LowdownThe dim-witted characters can grate, but there's enough heart (and sole) for beach readers and foot fetishists alike. B
