Why did I pick this book:  I was asked by the author to review her book. I happily accepted her request. I also featured Savannah Page on the blog a few months ago. She wrote a fantastic guest post. Check it out here(I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)

Did I enjoy this book: I did enjoy this book. I read it every free chance I had. I found When Girlfriends Break Hearts to be well-written, engaging, and a very good read start to finish.

The main character, Sophie, is one who likes order and control in her life. She soon learns that she cannot always have said order and control because life just doesn’t work that way…and she doesn’t even have kids yet! Then you really don’t have control or order! LOL Anyway…Sophie was in a tough spot, as were her friends, Claire, Lara, and Robin. In all of their positions, I don’t know what I would have done. You never truly know unless you are put in the situation.

Sophie was relateable. There were times that I wanted her to listen to Claire, Lara, and Pamela and heed their advice. There were times I agreed with her and wanted her to stick to her guns. There were times when she was very self-absorbed and blind to what was going on around her. But this is true with so many young women when they get their hearts broken by someone they thought was “the one.” I think most women have taken some of the same courses of action after getting their hearts broken and can relate to Sophie.

Claire is a wonderful best friend. Her relationship with Sophie is real. They don’t always get along. Sometimes they fight, yell, and get really angry with each other. Then they make up as true friends so often do. Lara is the older, wiser friend who is in a tough position. The other friends that make up their “sisterhood” – Jackie and Robin – round out this somewhat eclectic group of young women. They seem to make a good group of friends. And Pamela, the yoga instructor and mentor to Sophie, was a sweet woman.

I thought the message in this book was fantastic. It rings true. Good friends are so hard to find…especially loyal friends who will stand by you through anything. Forgiveness can save you and those who mean the world to you.

About the book – from the author: A novel about the bonds of friendship, the power of forgiveness, and the lessons you learn when you let go.

Sophie Wharton doesn’t like losing control, especially of her life. She’s always been the girl who’s kept it together—the girl with a charming boyfriend, a lively social life, and plans to start her own bakery. Life is great for Sophie a few years out of college in Seattle…or so she thinks.
Then a series of events start to turn Sophie’s perfectly ordered world upside down.
After three years, her boyfriend suddenly decides to call it quits. Her close camaraderie of girlfriends is starting to fall apart. Secrets are exposed. And when she thinks things couldn’t get any worse, Sophie learns that one of her friends is fighting a devastating battle.
Now living with her best friend Claire, Sophie struggles with learning to forgive or forget those who break hearts, while trying to accept that there are some situations she cannot control. But is there still a light at the end of the tunnel? Can a girl find the “good” in the “bad”?
This is a heartfelt story about what happens when friendships take different paths and when life doesn’t exactly go according to plan. It’s a story about betrayal, forgiveness, acceptance, and letting go. About what happens when girlfriends break hearts.
