This is not the Cinderella story you grew up with—you might even say it's better! 

In Julie Murphy's If the Shoe Fits, it's as though someone's fairy godmother came along and sprinkled a little magic over the story we all know and love. The version that emerged is fresh, fun, modern, and inventive—the perfect grownup fairy tale inspired by a timeless classic.

If the shoe doesn't fit, maybe it's time to design your own.

Murphy's take on the story features a plus-size aspiring shoe designer as the Cinderella character, a reality dating show that will feel familiar to fans of The Bachelor, and a Prince Charming type who is the heir to a struggling fashion empire. The sweet and sincere romance that unfolds is enough to melt even the most pragmatic of hearts.

Themes of self-love, leaps of faith, and happily-ever-afters make this book a delight to read and lend warmth and depth to this wonderfully escapist romantic adventure.
