I received this book for free as part of a First Reads giveaway. My copy was an advance uncorrected proof.
I had no expectations for this book. The premise seemed interesting, to a degree, but I just don't enjoy this kind of story (legal thrillers/political thrillers). So it was a very nice surprise to find myself loving “Saving Sophie”. The story grabbed my attention and held it up until the last page, and my issues with it never got in the way of my enjoyment.
The dialogue feel stilted on occasion, with a lot of the characters sounding alike. There were some minor plot holes I picked up on, there were a few too many stories going on at once, and some of the characters/details that weren't integral to the main plot felt unnecessary. Fortunately, the issues aren't so noticeable as to ruin the book.
I'm very glad I won this, because otherwise I might not have given it a chance.
