Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself, but I wouldn't mind seeing Eddie Redmayne as Nate on the big screen. (Also, just a little side note - multiple times while reading I kept thinking about how this book would make a fantastic movie. This is one of those books where you tell yourself "one more chapter and then I'll go to bed," but before you know it it's three in the morning and you've finished it! Orts is an great, creative writer, and I cannot wait to read more about Sophie and Nate in this book's sequel!
I would recommend The Year of the Great Seventh to anyone who love books like Veronica Roth's Divergent - books with the perfect combination of action, suspense, and romance. Her two best friends are celebrities and, between shooting movies, regularly attend premieres and exclusive parties, while Sophie herself has a much more complex life. I loved Nate as well as Sophie's friends none of their lives are normal, but they are also extremely different. Although she has her problems with Nate, she still gets her priorities straight and focuses on school as well as getting into NYU, her dream university. Sophie was also realistic - this isn't your typical, head-over-heels in love female character. Of course, I can't exactly say I've led my troubled boyfriend across the country to unlock an Egyptian prophecy before, but there were a lot of things about her personality and mindset that I could definitely relate to, and I had never seen these subtle quirks portrayed in a novel before. Despite the strange events she was going through, I still found her relatable in fact, she may be one of the most relatable female characters I've ever read about. I really, really, really loved Sophie, the main character and narrator of the novel.
While it was a bit slow in the beginning, the plot quickly began to develop after the first few chapters. Going into this book, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I gave it a chance because the plot seemed quite interesting and original.
