About
A romance writer with a passion for creative fields.
About
Currently working full time as the Marketing Coordinator at Wheaton College, Sophie graduated with a B.A. from Wheaton College in both Creative Writing and Literature & Film and New Media Studies. She primarily writes contemporary romance with a dash of comedy that touches on her personal experiences as a plus-size woman navigating mental health, college and post-grad life, family, and friendships. Now living in Quincy, MA with friends from her college a cappella group, her typical weekend consists of forcing her roommates to rewatch When Harry Met Sally and Saturday Night Live with a cat in her lap.

![ROMCOMS ARE BACK, BABY.
I find myself consistently checking @yulin.kuang and @emilyhenrywrites IGs for update, and it looks like Beach Read might be ready to start production 👀
If you could cast anyone as Gus and January, who would you cast?
💞
I feel like I would cast Logan Lerman as Gus and Cristin Millioti as January 😳

![Who am I kidding, I’d probably tell a lot of people 🫠
I just finished rereading one of my favorites of all time, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by @marianazapata and I cannot recommend it enough. If you like grumpy sunshine, suuuper slow burn, and small intimate moments that make your heart stutter, I highly recommend. 5/5 for me.
Okay, but seriously. If you had the lotto money, what would you buy first?

![ANYONE BUT YOU (2023) receives 3.5/5 Sophies. A loose retelling of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, Bea and Ben meet at a coffee shop and have a soulmate-level first date. After their hookup, Bea leaves — but not before hearing Ben disparage her. When they meet later, Bea’s sister and Ben’s friend is getting married. The rest of the movie then takes place at their friends’ destination wedding where they face exes, fake dating, and hilarious accidents… all while falling in love.
Okay. I actually didn’t know what to expect but I actually enjoyed Anyone But You. Glen Powell has another great hit, Set it Up, and this one is just another good romcom from him. The cast was pretty great, the tropes went wild (fake dating, one night stand, enemies to lovers, miscommunication, wedding) and there were some great comedic scenes that had me actually giggling.
I wish we’d gotten to see more from their first date/“hook-up” to feel their connection a little more. Also, Bea’s ex was sort of just…there. I also felt like the main characters would bully me lol. They didn’t have a ton of characterization, but it was mostly feel good anyways! This movie did not compare to classic romcoms for me, but it felt like a win for romcoms coming back.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this movie and if you like romcoms, you will too!
Have you seen this movie yet? What’d ya think?

![A WALK TO REMEMBER (2002) gets 4 stars! I bawled like a baby around thirty minutes into the movie and didn’t stop until the credits rolled. Landon’s character development was so strong and that alone had me weeping. Their relationship was so beautiful, even if I felt like the start wasn’t shown much (the parts with them working on their lines for the play, etc.) but once Landon confessed his feelings, everything clicked for me. Some scenes felt weird to me, or edited strange, with dramatically long shots for no reason, or quick crossfade shots that took me out of the scene.
*spoilers*
Landon building the telescope was peak romance. I mean, he named a damn star after the woman! The scene where he goes to his dad’s house and sobs while hugging him was the part where the dam fully broke for me. Like, sniffling and shaky breaths type of sobs. The ending felt anticlimactic, with just voiceovers and sort of the quick transition into life without Jamie. Overall, however, this movie was so emotional and romantic in all the right ways. Just the love Landon especially had for Jamie was heart wrenching. Mandy Moore and Shane West did a phenomenal job
Have you seen this movie? If you have, did you cry?

![OLD FLAMES AND NEW FORTUNES (out 4.2.24) by Sarah Hogle gets 4.5 Sophies out of 5!
This book has a little of everything for everyone: soulmates, magic, sister bonds, past lives, fake dating, wedding, flashbacks, trauma healing, children, comedy, anger, pinning, swoonworthy MMC, enjoyable FMC, small town, and some very spicy scenes. Hogle has a way of making every single character have a personality, and I am always so enamored by the little towns and communities she builds. The hint of magic reminded me of Just Like Magic, creating a well-established hint of magical realism. Alex is a dream; he is a MMC that people will be swooning over. Him and Romina are truly soulmate, and Hogle does an amazing job at making them intertwined even at their most tense. I wish we got more of the “then” bits to contrast even more of Alex and Romina — Romina’s lackluster reaction to magic, Alex’s shyness, her relationship with Kristen, their fallout, more with her parents arguments and how Alex helped her through that. I just think that that would solidify her hesitancy along with the terrible relationship with Spencer. I also enjoyed the scenes where there was a lot of tension and pent-up anger from the past and I almost wish it played even longer, the period of animosity and deciding what emotions were occuring in Romina’s tornado of a heart; Hogle has always written mesmerizing love/hate dynamics, built up revenge, and this concept of loving someone while wanting to wring their neck, especially like in You Deserve Each Other. This was just another stellar example of that writing. I’m hoping and assuming we will get the sisters’ stories, which I’m crossing my fingers for!
Overall, this book quickly became a favorite, along with Alex and Romina. Thank you to NetGalley and Sarah Hogle for the early copy, Old Flames and New Fortunes is a must read.

![I absolutely love 13 Going on 30 (who doesn’t??) and when I read The Good Part by @sophie_cousens (who has a great name, may I add) I immediately got great vibes from it. Rather than jumping from teenage years to adulthood, Lucy jumps from 20’s to middle age; it gave the book a more grownup feel, dealing with grief and love and maturity and transitional periods, and it made the plot less “how to function in adult world” and more introspective, attempting to understand relationships with a husband and kids she doesn’t know. I loved this read and all the characters that came with it. I got emotional at times, laughed at others, and just genuinely had such joy reading this book. The writing is also just simply so damn good. I highly recommend 💓
