Book Review: Sophie’s Run by Nicky Wells

I received a copy of Sophie’s Run in exchange for an honest review.

Summary:

Her famous star remains her rock while life takes her on a little detour…

Who says that the road towards true love is straight and even? Sophie is certainly discovering that it is anything but.

So she has finally found the man of her dreams! Well…she knows who he is, even though she hasn’t actually quite met him yet. But she misses her opportunity, and then her life goes crazy. Rock star and ex-fiancé, Dan, keeps getting in the way of her new romance—even if he is just trying to be helpful. A fire, an impromptu mini-trip with Dan, and a dreaded wedding later, Sophie is still struggling to meet the love of her life. Then, just as she is getting it together with her perfect man, best friend Rachel commits an act of unspeakable betrayal.

Sophie has had enough. Confused and distraught, she decides that it is time for a radical change. Surprising herself and shocking her friends, she embarks on a secret journey and eventually gets her life back on track.

My Review:

I was so excited to catch up with Sophie once again. I highly enjoyed Sophie’s Turn, and was curious where life had taken her.  But things aren’t too grand in her life. A fire destroys her flat on her birthday, she meets the man that causes her to have a thunder and lightning moment but then can’t track him down, and an act of betrayal by her best friend is the final straw. Once again, I was invested in the story right off the bat, and felt like Sophie could be one of my best friends. I was enthralled by her love life and curious up until the end how everything would play out. I enjoyed the sub-plots as well, especially with her friend Rachel, and liked the sneak peek into the minds of some supporting characters about halfway through the book. I highly recommend both these novels from Nicky Wells!
