Sophie Murphy Does Not Exist by Tiffany BlanchardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I wasn't expecting such a beautiful poignant story, it warmed my heart with so much emotions. I really loved the author's writing style, the characters and mainly Sophie, she is an amazing MC that made me laugh or want to cry. A small book that will leave its mark on you. I would say that the author is really remarkable if this is her first novel and I hope that she will write more because I feel like she might be the future Lois Lowry or E.L. Konigsburg.
This is the story of Sophie Murphy who after losing her father, she decides to go looking for his name on Netopedia but she discovers that her father's life wasn't remarkable enough to be listed, so our 12 years old heroine makes the decision that she will become a famous person, at the same time she will learn the most important lessons of her life.
I hope that many people who are dreaming only about fame and likes will read this book because it will make them understand "being admired by millions isn't as precious as being loved by one."
Also, I've to say that I loved the essay in the story, it was brilliant, really beautiful. I will re-read this book in the future.
I received an advance review copy for free from Booksirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
