Sophie's Turn is a wonderful modern chick lit romance that opens with the protagonist, Sophie, quite happy in her romance with her boyfriend Tim, or is she? Being a big fan of rock music Sophie has flashbacks to another time and place when the only man she wanted by her side was Dan from the rock band Tuscq. At the tender age of 19 she had the opportunity to experience that first hand and regrets the decisions she made that night. Now 10 years older and wiser she meets up with the band members again and rekindles a few dormant flames for Dan. Torn between being faithful to her now fiance Tim and wanting to find out what life with Dan would be like, Sophie finds herself assigned to cover the story when Tuscq takes a comeback tour. When Dan assures her "what happens on tour stays on tour" Sophie is quite sure that her moral lines are about to be crossed. Ms. Wells takes the reader across these lines in a very real struggle as Sophie tries to decide which man is "the one". The reader is privy to all her thoughts and feelings as she takes a walk on the wild side with Dan and discovers just how she really feels about both men. The ending will leave you with your mouth hanging open and as you turn the last page you know you will be coming back for Sophie's Run because there is no way you can turn away from Sophie's story now. I knew I was in for a fun ride with Sophie's Turn, but I had no idea just how rocky it would really be. Ms. Wells has accomplished what many can't by taking a subject that affects the private lives of many and made it public in a very sensitive, logical and often times tension releasing funny! I will be back for the rest of Sophie's Story!
