Sophie's Secret by Tara West
4.0
I had no intentions of reading this book as soon as I did. But after I downloaded it, and read the first line, that was it. I was half way through the book before I knew it! Sophie's Secret is a book about a girl with a supernatural power: she can read minds. Sophie is faced with various decisions to make whilst at school, including standing up to bullies, dealing with teachers, and making tough decisions when it comes to boys.
This book is a really good, quick read. It captures the thought process of a teenage-girl with boys problems really well. Despite the simplicity of the plot, I just could not put the book down.
Sophie is a really insecure girl who has gone through a transformation, fat to not fat and pretty. And she's drawing more attention than what she's comfortable with.
Summer Powers is a typical popular girl who makes the lives of everyone else miserable. She really does embody that horrible girl that just about everyone hates. Summer is a cake-faced bitch, and Sophie has to learn how to stand up to her.
AJ and Krysta are Sophie's best buds [also with supernatural powers]. And they actually have a much smaller role to play than I expected. Well, not small, just not that big. But they're pretty interesting. I think they'll have a lot more to do in the following books. Let's not forget the characters of Lara, Mrs. Stein and Rose Marie - all awesome, all great, and all leave you wanting more of their characters.
Frankie . . . *melts*. What a babe. I don't think I need to say much about Frankie, because he's just gorgeous. West has really made the quite the achievement here - she's made the name "Frankie" seem undeniably sexy. I love him because him and his sexiness [and the way he treats Sophie], would just never ever happen in real life. He's like an amazing dream, and who doesn't love dreams like that?
All up, Sophie's Secret is a really good book and a ridiculously enjoyable read that keeps you unable to do anything else but turn the pages.
