Sophie has been quickly dispatched to social Siberia, but not for long–she’ll do anything it takes to make a triumphant comeback.When Angie moves into town, Sophie finds her perfect, popular life unraveling as Angie takes both Sophie's boyfriend and the role she wanted in the school play, only to discover that she is really in love with her best friend's older brother. Sophie Donnelly has everything she could possibly want. She has the perfect boyfriend, the perfect best friend, and she is pretty much guaranteed the lead role in the school play.
Book Review ;
I was pleasantly surprised with The Comeback. I really enjoyed it and I even managed to read the whole book in one sitting. While it was a very predictable book it was still really cute. Sophie was a pretty good character and I found myself rooting for her throughout the book.The Comeback is basically just a cheesy romance book. I have no problem with that but I know some people who would like a little more substance to their books. I have to say that I didn’t really see a message in this book. Sophie was always just trying to get her popularity back and in the end she sort of seemed to understand that popularity wasn’t everything but I don’t think it was a very clear message.
Overall, I liked The Comeback and I do plan on reading more of Marlene Perez’s books. This one was just fun and easy and a good book to have on your shelf for a rainy day. I can’t wait to read her other romance, Love In The Corner Pocket.
