Twenty-eight year old Sophie is totally ready to marry Tim, her boyfriend of two years, and is just waiting for him to pop the question already. But why does she keep flashing back to nine years ago when she spent the night hanging out with her favorite band Tuscq, specifically the lead singer Dan? And if Jim is the right guy for her, why is Sophie so thilled when a chance meeting with another member of Tuscq brings her face-to-face with Dan again after all of these years?Sophie's Turn was chick lit at its finest. It was funny, romantic, fast-paced and sexy and I have no idea why it took me so long to read it. I must confess that initially the love triangle worried me. I was concerned that there would be one obvious good guy and one bad guy and we would spend the entire book waiting for Sophie to come to this conclusion herself before ending up with the "good" guy. I won't give any spoilers except to say that my concerns were without merit. There was no "bad" and "good" as much as "right" and wrong" and the choices Sophie made surprised me and actually made me proud. I could relate to Sophie's internal conflicts and understood the decisions she made even when I didn't always agree with them and I was impressed by her strength and the ease with which she dusted herself off. Dan was adorable and sexy and a bit too good to be true but that's why he's the perfect hero. Sophie's BFF Rachel was hilarious and spunky, just as a chick lit best friend should be. And I adored all of the members of the band.I already have Sophie's Run on my Kindle and look forward to reading it soon. Highly recommend to fans of chick lit and romantic comedy.
