Twenty years ago, Allie Denty was the pretty one and her best friend Olivia Pelham was the smart one. Throughout high school, they were inseparable…until a vicious rumor about Olivia— a rumor too close to the truth—ended their friendship. Now, on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, Allie, a temp worker, finds herself suddenly single, a little chubby, and feeling old. Olivia, a cool and successful magazine beauty editor in New York, realizes she’s lonely, and is finally ready to face her demons. Sometimes hope lives in the future; sometimes it comes from the past; and sometimes, when every stupid thing goes wrong, it comes from a prettily packaged jar filled with scented cream and promises.

Las participantes tienen origenes muy diversos: Helen Zahari, infeliz esposa de un politico prominente; Sandra Vanderslice, teleoperadora sexual que lucha contra la agorafobia y Jocelyn Bowen, que no sabe nada de zapatos, pero hara lo que sea para escapar de la casa en la que trabaja como niñera. La noche de los martes cobrara un nuevo significado para estas mujeres, que se convertiran en verdaderas amigas, y llegaran a confesarse los mas intimos deseos, hasta descubrir que sus reuniones para el inocente intercambio de zapatos pueden ser el comienzo de una nueva y fabulosa etapa para todas ellas. / Four different women.
