I was given the opportunity to read an electronic copy of Saving Sophie via NetGalley. This is my honest opinion of the book.

17 year old Sophie Finch is brought home, visibly impaired, by the police, although she insists that she does not know what happened. As she starts piecing together her evening from texts that night and the morning after, Sophie realizes that she is not the only one in trouble. When her friends Amy and Erin do not make it home and the police get involved, will Sophie be able to remember the details of her missing night and figure out where everything went so horribly wrong?

Saving Sophie was given many 5 star reviews, but my experience with it was quite different. Some of the dialogue seemed awkward and forced, which led to some conversations that did not ring true. Karen's condition, severe agoraphobia brought on by a violent act, was a little too convenient for the author to pull out when needed. Although the police were suspicious of Sophie and her friends, they dropped the ball when it came to surveillance. This did not seem plausible, as the police would most certainly follow the loose threads to see where they lead. Having been a victim before, it did not seem likely that Karen would be an accomplice in hiding the truth from the police. For these reasons, I would not recommend Saving Sophie to other readers.
