We meet the two main characters. Julianne and Will. They grow up together, went to college together and now have opened a business together. Julianne is always looking for her prince charming. Will knows that he has always loved Julianne. Julianne thinks she has found her man, when she is behind a car accident. After she notices that he left behind a shoe, and his tool box, Julianne is sure this is her Cinderella story. She moves heaven and hell to find out who this guy is.
Will has seen other women, but it always comes back to how he feels about Julianne. Other people know these two should be together. But why can't they see it? From the time they were in grade school together, they always were there for each other. Along with the fact that they both have lost one of their parents and now the remaining two parents seem to also have feelings for each other.
Sandra Bricker makes you wonder if any could really find a prince charming. I was laughing at some of the parts, and feeling a little sad also. Sandra's writing is wonderful. From the beginning of the book to the end, it held my attention. There are no slow parts to this story.
What I really found enjoyable is that even though Sandra does add in God to this story, it is not over done. If wouldn't offend any one who has their own way of believing or not Believing in a God.
I would definitely recommend IF THE SHOE FITS to any one who needs a little fairy tale in their live.
Book Summary
Julianne used to believe in fairy tales; she's been watching for Prince Charming to come charging in on his white steed ever since the day her mother read her Cinderella for the first time. But she's never come close to finding the perfect man-instead she's always tripping over her childhood best friend, Will. And who finds their Prince Charming on a 10-speed bicycle on the other side of the cul de sac? Well... Julianne does. Only she doesn't have a clue.
She and Will are attorneys now, and they've joined up in private practice in a beautiful Cincinnati office building that overlooks the Ohio River. And then one day Julianne is on her way to court, and runs right smack dab into Prince Charming. But when she looks again, all she finds is a metaphoric sign she is certain came straight from Heaven: The Prince's toolbox has fallen off the back of his truck, and a work boot along with it. What better way for God to grab the attention of a Cinderella-in-training than to show her a glass slipper...errrr, work boot?...waiting to be reunited with its owner?
So she sets out to track down the mysterious Prince Charming. He's the most gorgeous guy she's ever seen...and a caring animal rescuer, too. Surely he must be the soul mate God has prepared her for.
But, Julianne's prince is starting to look less and less charming all the time. No matter how she tries to romanticize him, he just keeps tumbling down off that dumb pedestal. And with the Bar Association dinner coming up that will honor her for her outstanding charity work over the year, Julianne wants so much for her friends and colleagues to see her with someone besides her best friend Will. To make matters worse, Prince Charming has no designs on wearing a penguin suit and attending a stuffy old dinner. With her pride pressing in on her like sticks from a cactus, Julianne sinks to the bottom of the proverbial barrel and actually offers to pay Paul to be her date.
Julianne is on a collision course with God's perfect plan for her life...if only she could open her eyes and see it before it's too late.
