It’s not easy being the only girl in the Durant household. It’s tough when everybody views you as the baby of the family, despite having a twin brother who is only two minutes older than you. But most difficult of all is harboring a secret crush on your twin’s best friend for three years. Sofia Durant is having the worst last weeks of high school she could have ever imagined, especially after failing two classes and having to take summer classes in order to graduate. So when Adrian Carter, the star of the college soccer team in Madrid unexpectedly asks her out on date, she thinks her bad streak has come to an end. But things take a turn for the worse and after an unspeakable night she wishes she could forget, flees to London to live with her older brother Leo. Eight months pass before she finally has the courage to come back home and resume her life, only to find that things are a whole lot different now and she’s not the only one who has changed.
This book was truly amazing. Before I began reading Chasing Sofia I just thought it would be similar to every other book I had read.
Sofia was just an average girl who had experienced many traumatic encounters throughout her childhood and bottled it deep down inside, with many haunted reminders, worried if she told anyone it would backfire and hurt the people she cared most about. Sofia, however, wasn't the only one suffering, Adrian had experienced some traumatic times himself.
I love how this book slowly unravels all of their set backs in life. Chasing Sofia was a great book and showed that life isn't always as it seems.
