Beth Harbison writes contemporary women's fiction and romantic comedy about friendship, marriage, food and adults reconsidering choices made earlier in life. Shoe Addicts Anonymous brings together women whose very different circumstances are linked by an expensive shoe habit and a regular exchange group. Secrets of a Shoe Addict returns to the same social world with new characters and financial pressures. Hope in a Jar centres on former friends and school reunion history, while Always Something There to Remind Me looks back at a relationship that still affects the protagonist years later. Harbison's books are light, accessible and relationship-led, with humour and friendship more important than elaborate external plots. Shoe Addicts Anonymous is the clearest entry for ensemble women's fiction and consumer-culture comedy. Read more Less
