33 VALENTINES is the story of Sophie. February is her
least favorite
month. When she was younger something life changing
happened in
February and she has always disliked it. Through a series
of flashbacks
you learn what it is that happened and why she doesn't like
the month.
This February, Sophie has decided to stop hiding her
feelings and let her
best friend Sam know exactly how she feels about him.
Every Valentines
Day she gets together with Sam and watches bad
movies...until this year.
This year Sam cancels as he has a date with what he calls,
the Perfect
Woman. The shock of his email has her all out of wits and
she ends up in
the Emergency Room with a broken arm.
At times, I was laughing out loud and in
the next instant holding my breath afraid of what was going
to happen next
to Sophie. I really enjoyed reading Sophie and Sam's story
and the rest of
the zany characters. Who wouldn't want to work in a flower
shop with
Naomi and Geraldine? I think 33 VALENTINES is an awesome
read for
anyone who has loved and lost or anyone who likes a sweet
and funny
romance. I am looking forward to reading more of Stephanie
Monahan's books.
All Sophie wants for her thirty-third year is a calendar
without a February—and without a Valentine’s Day. The
unlucky month haunts her with regrets, loss, and missteps
she can never take back. But this year, she’s determined to
make a change— and she’s going to start with telling her
best friend, Sam, how she feels about him.
But February isn’t making it easy for her. Sam’s got a date
with his dream girl, and Sophie finds herself in the
hospital. Then there’s her father, who has a surprise that’s
about to turn her world upside-down, and her little brother,
who doesn’t seem to have any room for her in his life. While
everyone else seems to be living life, Sophie is stuck in
neutral.
Now, Sophie must come to terms with everything that’s
holding her back in order to fight for what she wants before
she loses the chance to turn her luck around.
