This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens: A Book Review
Genre: Romance
Somehow in her debut novel, Sophie Cousens captures an unique romantic comedy just waiting to be turned into a movie. Filled with tears, hope, pain, and love, This Time Next Year brings a story of two star-crossed lovers born moments apart and yet distanced by experience. Following the story of Minnie, Cousens details how parents can define us even if we do not notice it and how people must learn who they are throughout life. Surprisingly, Cousens allows her characters to work through their differences and flaws independently noting that while having support can help, how you think by yourself leads you to succeed. The biggest message Cousens give is that “there needs to be a me before there is a we”.
