Book Review: Worth Waiting For by Sally Johnson

Sophia thought she was over her broken heart, but the news that her roommate has eloped with Sophia’s ex-husband hits the nineteen-year-old like a ton of bricks. She knows she should be fine with the unexpected revelation—after all, her boyfriend, Luke, is incredible, but it would seem her heart is not as resilient as she thought. And as Luke prepares to leave for his European study abroad, Sophia’s feelings of fear and inadequacy threaten to overwhelm her.

A summer with her family in Las Vegas gives Sophia the time she needs, but she still can’t shake the questions haunting her, the questions that continually threaten to put more than physical distance between Luke and her. Is she really ready to jump into a new relationship when the last one ended so painfully? Will her divorce always define her? Is she the one with the problem?

As she wistfully observes others’ love stories blossoming around her, Sophia must decide whether she’s prepared to take another chance on love. Luke’s return from Europe forces Sophia to confront the decision she’s not sure she’s prepared for—will her troubled past destroy the happy ending she’s always dreamed of?

My Thoughts:

OK I have to admit, the idea of a 19 year old being at BYU and divorced was too much to stay away from.  I was excited for the pain that this character was going through.  Sadly, this book started after all of that was over.  It begins after the divorce, after the worst recovery is over.  However, I found out that this is actually the second book in a series and the first book is what I was really hoping for.  SO, resetting my expectations a bit, I looked at this book with a different perspective. I think it is the perfect summary to the story!  I just wish I had the read the first book before starting this one, but still a great read, and a great story.
