Sophie and the Sea: Lost at Sea with My Worst Enemy

by Cassidy Langue

Sophie and Margo have been best friends since grade school. Every summer, they take two months to sail down the east coast into the Gulf of Mexico, chill out on sandy beaches, and generally enjoy the summer sun, water, and sand.

Vickie's best friend is her twin sister, Margo. They get along in almost everything—everything except Margo's other best friend, Sophie. Vickie's hated Sophie for more than a decade.

Vickie takes the motorboat out far from shore one afternoon to enjoy some quiet time on the water when a belt breaks on her motor. Margo enlists Sophie's help on the sailboat to pick up Vickie before a dangerous storm system moves in. In the rush to beat the storm back to shore, Margo stays behind to fix the motorboat while Sophie uses her expert sailing skills to get herself and Vickie back before the gale force winds hit—but they're too late. Lost in the middle of the ocean with their boat damaged, how will Sophie and Vickie find a way past their differences to find shore and save themselves?

This book was not it. Boring & repetitive - I almost DNF’d it.

[Michelle Murray · Rating 1 out of 5]

I came SO close to DNFing this one but stuck it out and speed read through the last half.
It was super rushed and the characters were all over the place and not really very likeable at all. The whole story just seemed to me like a little kid playing at being an adult. There wasn't much to the plot because again...so rushed! And the cheese really stank in this one.

Thoughts:
This longish novella did exactly what I was in the need of. It let me get lost for a couple of hours and I did enjoy myself while reading. I hadn't read a lost at sea book before and liked that plot. I enjoyed the banter between the main characters and the touch of enemies. At some points I did find the story line to be lacking something, but it didn't stop me from finishing the book. I do have to say that the ending was lackluster and seemed rushed. Even after downloading the bonus content, I found myself missing a proper ending to the story.

nice story

I did have some trouble figuring out who was talking to who until I realized that the heading of each chapter was who was talking. Good book with some tense moments at sea. I was surprised that the lightening strike took out all their electronics on the boat but didn’t start any fires. It was a struggle but the did have a HEA at the end.

This had potential but ended up being frustrating. The two FMCs were so hot and cold/back and forth, I practically got whiplash. And the ending? It just abruptly cuts off. Not quite a HEA, but the start of one I guess.
spice: 🌶.5

Boring

It’s high time that romance authors get more creative and use anything other than miscommunication or lack of it as a way to create conflict in a plot. I hated Victoria, she is so immature that I think Sophie could do better. Not a good thing when reading a romance.

[Grace · Rating 3 out of 5]

this novella deals with some very hard hitting things and i reckon it would e flowed better as a fully fleshed out 300 page novel.

[Haydee Ogden · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the characters and the story. It was a good read, strange ending though. It felt rushed and maybe a little incomplete.

[Kyleigh Rollins · Rating 1 out of 5]

Gave 1 star because .5 wasn’t an option. Extremely repetitive and boring. I could not finish it.

[Rebekah · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was repetitive and boring and not well-written. And there was not as much smut as I was expecting (which isn't the author's fault, but it did diminish my enjoyment).

[Anya FitzGerald · Rating 5 out of 5]

fire.

[Tiana Jazmine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Besides this being chock full of the "I'm allergic to communication" trope, it was still a quick and cute story. sophie is my girl!!

[cristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was cute. I didn't go into it expecting a dickensien novel, so I was not disappointed. it's a quick read with a likable storyline.
