Sophie & Carter by Chelsea Fine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sophie & Carter. I have no idea how to explain the book. It was short and sweet and I loved it. I wouldn’t have minded if it was a bit longer, because I loved the characters from the minute I heard about them. I thought this picture described how I felt when it was over.





Yup, Frustrated...


I still don’t know how to explain the book. So a list:


1. So, the book starts with Sophie being late to English (happens to me a lot), and it progresses on from there. It talks about Sophie & Carter’s home lives, their school lives, relationships and the future.

2. Then there is their relationship sigh. Their relationship, this has to be one of my favourite couples out of all the books I have read this year. I don’t know why. But there is just something about Sophie and carter that like. And even though it is the boy next-door situation, it is different. Argh... how do I explain this. Sophie and Carter are perfect for each other and what I like about this book is that unlike almost every other YA book I am reading it is not LUST at first sight. Sophie and Carter fell in love over time, sure they had the realisation. “Gosh, I love this girl.” But it was obvious and they fell in LOVE not LUST. Their relationship wasn’t based on the physical side of things (it was there) but it was more the emotional side.





3. SO the characters other than Sophie and Carter. Their family’s, what I loved about the book was the fact that the side characters were not built in to support their relationship, it was as if they were there and the book had to work around them, not the other way around.

4. Still on the characters, there actually aren’t that many and they all have such... personalities. I fell in love with Sophie’s 14 year old brother Michael, he was just such a 14 year old, and he had moments of pure sweetness where I felt like hugging him, patting him on the head and saying “you’re a wonderful brother, unlike mine...’ However, my absolute favourite character would have to be Sophie, I am in love with her and not in a creepy way. She looks to the future, she is the ying to the family's yang, she’s a great sister and I can see why Carter loves her.

5. Overall, there is not really anything wrong with the book, it was good and I really enjoyed it. I read it in about an hour and I loved it. I recommend it to anyone who likes YA books, romance, generally books. Even if you don’t normally read this sort of book, give it a go. You might be surprised.





We sit for a minute and I’m falling into our comfortable silence when Carter reaches over and gently wraps his fingers around my hand.

My day just went from crappy to great. - Sophie
