Synopsis

When Sofia lost her mother eight months ago, her friends were 100% there for her. But now it's a new year, and they're ready for Sofia to move on. The problem is that Sofia can't bounce back-she can't recharge like a cellphone. She decides to write Dear Kate, an advice columnist for Fifteen Magazine, and is surprised to receive a fast reply. Soon, the two are exchanging emails, and Sofia opens up and spills all, including a few worries that are totally embarrassing. But it turns out that not even advice columnists have all the answers. One day, Sofia learns a secret that flips her world upside down: Dear Kate shows up on her doorstep...with her dad...as his girlfriend... A novel about love, family, grief, and growing up, Speed of Life is the heartbreaking, heartwarming story of a girl who thinks her life is over when it's really just beginning.

Goodreads review by Karlita | Tale Out Loud on April 07, 2018

“Sometimes life ends when you don’t want it to, and sometimes it starts when you don’t want it to.” Transition. Change. Acceptance. Death was inevitable as we all say. It takes a lot of courage, a lot of time to heal wounds and a lot of time to bring back the pieces of a shattered heart. B......more
