CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT is a lovely heart-wrenching
story
of love and loss. Sophie hasn't gotten over what happened
to the love of
her life, Aaron years ago. She hasn't been able to let
herself date someone
since then, well, not seriously or long term. When her
best friend Samira
cancels on going to a concert with Sophie, Samira suggests
she should
take Brett, a man that works with Samira's boyfriend.
Sophie is reluctant at
first, but gives in and calls Brett. They wind up having
an awesome time
and decide to take it slow and do the friends thing first.
They start going out but Sophie can't let go of her first
love, which puts a
huge dent in her relationship with Brett. Brett is a
sweetheart that you
cannot help but fall in love with as the story develops.
It's easy to see why
Sophie is falling for him, too. Reading about Sophie and
Brett's relationship
go from friendship to love is very sweet. I found it
funny, sad, romantic and
encouraging. At times, I just wanted to shake Sophie and
scream at her
that she needs to let go of Aaron and be with Brett. He
is right in front of
her, offering her his heart and she is messing it up!
Sophie grows as a character in my eyes by putting behind
the past and
figuring out what she wanted in not only her personal but
also her
professional life. I would love to have a sequel to see
where she has
ended up, even though CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT ends
in a
way that the reader will be completely satisfied.
If you are looking for a story that will pull on all of
your emotions, filled with
characters you feel a strong connection to, run, do not
walk to your nearest
book retailer and get CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. Not
many
people have the chance to find true love more than once in
their lives and
this story gives you a front row seat to watch it
happen. A big thank you to
Chelsey Krause for the many hours of laughter and tears. I
will never be
able to eat Oreo cookies with a glass of milk without
thinking of this
wonderful story. I will be looking for more from this
talented author.
Fans of Ruthie Knox, Rachel Gibson, and Molly O’Keefe
will love this deeply romantic and uplifting debut novel
about losing everything you thought you wanted—and getting
exactly what you need.
Sophie Richards
has been looking forward to a much-needed girls’ night
out:
a Rolling Stones tribute-band concert, a few drinks, a
distraction from her grueling nursing shifts in acute
care.
But when her best friend bails, Sophie gets stuck with a
blind date.
Although Brett Nicholson may be
the hottest carpenter alive, and Sophie may technically be
single, she isn’t exactly on the market. Six years ago she
found The One. He was everything Sophie dreamed a man
could
be—and then she lost him. In an instant, her whole life
changed, and she forgot all about happily ever after.
But as she gets to know Brett, Sophie starts to
wonder about the future for the first time. With a broken
heart still clouding her mind, jumping into a new
relationship feels impossible. When she’s in his arms,
walking away feels even harder. Now Sophie faces an
impossible choice: living in the past or choosing love in
the here and now.
