Book Review of Sophie's Heart

Sophie's Heart
reviewed a cliched christian romance novel and nothing more on + 16 more book reviews


I have to say upfront that I read it several years ago, and I must have been 13 or 14 years of age at the time. But even in my youth, or maybe because of it, I found this book boring, drawn out and terribly predictable. Some may discredit my opinion since I haven't read the book recently, and that's fine. I'm sure if I were to muddle through it again, my opinion would not change for the positive.

A woman immigrates to the US, falls for her boss, and they get married. And of course his children who loved her as a babysitter don't seem to like her as much now that she's their new mother. Oh the twists and turns! But alas, it all works out in the end, since after all, this is a Christian romance novel and since the main characters are dedicated Christians, they do, of course live happily ever after. But if all you're looking for is Christian romance to make your heart-a-flutter in a purely God-fearing way, then you will most likely love this book. Cheers!
