From the duo behind the USA Today bestselling Christmas Notch series comes a new small town romance ready to captivate your heart…
Welcome to Spooning, Connecticut, a sleepy town in the tree-carpeted Litchfield Hills, where life is friendly and quiet... that is, until the four Barstow brothers, along with their sister, are left a farm in their grandparents' will.
Suddenly they're all back in Spooning, and the once sleepy town has unknowingly become the setting of the latest season of Baby Barstow's popular podcast, Talk Dirty to Me. And seeing as she's here, she can't help but inject a little local gossip into each recording.
Soon it becomes clear that there is a lot more forking happening in Spooning than at first meets the eye - and Baby Barstow isn't interested in keeping any of it quiet. In fact, we're about to hear all about it...

Praise for If the Shoe Fits
Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Hopeless
"If The Shoe Fits encompasses everything I love about rom-coms. I laughed, I swooned, I smiled. Another hit for Julie Murphy!"
Booklist
"In Murphy's breezy and fun rom-com, there's enough of Cinderella in the story to be charming, yet overall it sparkles like an exciting new tale. indy is immensely lovable, and readers will root for all her dreams to come true. Murphy brings the wit, sensitivity, and imagination that has made her a YA star to the start of her adult romance Meant to Be series.”
Farrah Rochon, USA Today best-selling author of The Boyfriend Project
"If the Shoe Fits is so much more than a modern retelling of a classic tale. It’s a swoon-worthy slow burn romance that’s filled with heart and humor."
Publishers Weekly
“[An] inventive Cinderella retelling, Murphy cleverly blends the conventions of fairy tales and reality TV to create an incisive commentary on both…readers interested in a smart exploration of the intersection of romance and reality TV will be overjoyed.”
Katharine McGee, New York Times best-selling author of American Royals
“Forget the animated Cinderella! If the Shoe Fits brings a fresh, charming, and deeply empowering perspective to the classic fairy tale.”
