When I saw this on NetGalley I was intrigued by the cover. The information given about this makes it seem like a very different story to what you actually get.
I was curious to read the story of Sophie and look at how she dealt with her situation. Unfortunately, I felt that the whole premise of her life was so far-fetched and unrealistic that I couldn’t shake that, even as I got to find out more about her.
There was no doubt that the relationship between Sophie and Eric was meant to be important, but it was the relationship between Sophie and her teacher that became of more interest. I got caught up in seeing how these two rather prickly characters learned about themselves as the story progressed.
This novel seems to be trying to cover a lot of issues, but I didn’t feel that we were prepared for them. For me, there were just too many unlikely elements for me to every fully relax with this one.
