Sophie & Carter
Other then the fact that Christmas Day is considered strictly family day for my family, it's also considered "Lazy Day" :). I ended up reading a book called Sophie & Carter by Chelsea Fine yesterday too. :)
Sophie & Carter is the story of...well, none other than ... Sophie AND Carter! Both live a tough life; Sophie is raising her three siblings all on her own, while her mother is out doing something...well let's just say, NOT motherly! And Carter is taking care of his deranged mother, because his abusive father took off without his family. And they witness each others stories every day, while living in houses right next to each other.
Both are living the lives of...well, not even the average grown-up (well, maybe in Sophie's case, a little more than in Carter's case). They're juggling going to school, feeding their families, and looking forward to the one time of day...the time they can be together.
Although never together romantically, or intimately, Sophie and Carter are perfect for each other. Living in a world full of secrets, Sophie and Carter have been keeping one even bigger secret from everyone around them...how close they are. Carter is the only one that can understand what Sophie is going through, and Sophie is the only one that can understand what Carter is going through. They help each other, and keep each other sane. They complete each other.
Overall Rating:
I really enjoyed this book. It was short (only 128 pages); yet such a touching loveable story! The only complaint I do have, is that I wish it could have been longer. The story starts really fast, and seems to end too soon. However, like I said, it's still a great book. So pick up (or download) your copy if this sounds like something that would interest you! :)
