If the Shoe Fits

I wish the ending was a little more romantic but other than that, I adored this story!!

Julie Murphy did such a great job creating these characters and developing them. The character growth was beautiful!

I really couldn’t figure out how this book would end! I really was guessing until the end! I love a romance novel that cant be predicated.

Even the side characters in this story stood!

There were characters you loved, as well as characters you loved to hate!

Definitely rereadable material!

With contrasting personalities, they create a rich tapestry that reflects the diverse experiences of love and friendship in today's society. From those you root for to those you love to hate, every character adds depth to the story. Whether you're a fan of romance novels or looking to try something new, "If the Shoe Fits" is a delightful read. It not only entertains but also inspires readers to embrace their true selves.

With the nine of swords and the emperor card we see a tyrannical energy that seems to have a hold on your capacity to take dominion over your world. The king of swords and the five of pentacles indicates you are feeling trapped in your head about resources, not just your resources but resources
