Title: These Boots Weren't Made for Walking
Author: Melody Carlson
Genre: Christian fiction
Rating: 8/10
# pages: 314
Date read: February, 2007
Review: This delightful novel by Melody Carlson reads like Good in Bed meets Watermelon meets Theodora's Diary. When we first meet Cassidy she has just bought a pair of Valentino boots she absolutely cannot afford. However, with boots like these, life could never be anything but perfect, right?
Wrong. Not only is she let go from her work on the first day she wears her boots, her boyfriend dumps her for a "friend", and as bad things always comes in threes, her neighbour steals her as yet unused credit card and racks up a debt quicker than you can say Ralph Lauren.
Having hit rock-bottom there's no place to go but up. Cass moves back home to the sleepy town of her childhood to live with her mother until she has found herself once again.
Carlson takes you on a heart warming, often embarrassing but always witty journey towards happiness together with a woman who tries not to frequent fitness centres, rips her pants at the Halloween party and goes-out-with-but-definitely-doesn't-date the most eligible bachelor in town.
These Boots Weren't Made for Walking is the perfect comfort book for a lazy morning in bed or a rainy day curled up by the fire. I turned the last page with a sigh of contentment, thinking that at least for a moment, "God is in His Heaven, and All is Right with the World." (Written for Armchair Interviews)
