Our 24-year-old heroine Amy has planned everything to perfection. With her London A-Z in hand and bus, train and underground schedules, she’s left nothing to chance in her mission to track down the perfect pair of shoes to go with that evening’s outfit. Along the way, she’ll meet up with girlfriends Jesminder, a workmate, and Debbie, workmate and old university pal, to assist them with their shoe needs. Jes is after a pair of running shoes while Debbie is happy to come along for part of the ride and check out the men in the shoe shops rather than the shoes themselves. Amy is the expert to help them with all their shoe desires.
Clicking Her Heels is a modern-day retelling of the classic Cinderella fairy tale but rather than the shoe fitting and Prince Charming rescuing the girl, Amy’s prince steals her shoes, then sells them and, as for some of her so-called sisters, as ever those girls are out for themselves.
When Amy’s boyfriend puts her prized collection of shoes up for sale on eBay, under the mistaken notion that she is cheating on him, her quest to reclaim them leads her on a series of hilarious and outrageous adventures, from London to L.A. Along her way, Amy encounters a series of memorable characters and reflects on the part each pair of shoes has played in her life. This is a tender and poignant chick lit novel for women who grew up reading Sweet Valley High and are looking for a return to sisterhood and more heartfelt values.
