There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage. Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it. While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories. |

Written on August 18, 2008 Summary: Okay but Not Near His Best This book is a romance between Jeremy, a successful New York magazine columnist, who falls in love with Lexie, a country girl, and moves to her neck of the woods away from the city. The author delves into the dynamics of friendship, commitment, marriage, pregnancy and fatherhood. It gave insights into the adjustments involved in entering and maintaining a serious relationship by centering on Jeremy's and Lexie's feelings as their relationship progressed. The ending surprised me so I'd say it is a good book and recommend it to anyone who likes romance.  Written on August 18, 2008 Summary: Disapponited!! This was my very first novel by Sparks. I was soo looking forward to a good tear-jerker love novel, since I know of his work because the "The Notebook", the movie. Instead, I was very disapponited. I seen the ending coming and I agree with another comment, the main female character, made me mad, leaving me not to feel for her at the end. Mr. Sparks, I don't want to give up on you so soon but I think I need to come back to you at a later time. Any recommendation?  Written on August 9, 2008 Summary: Least favorite Sparks book Not a fan of this. I really enjoyed True Believer and thought this was would a great extension of that story. Not so..characters became less and less like-able as the story went on and it was difficult to feel part of their connection and great love story.  Written on July 25, 2008 Summary: At First Sight This is an emotionally-charged love story that is a continuation of another one of Nicolas Spark's books called True Beliver. This is a much more romantic and exciting book, however! The main characters Jeremy Marsh, the sophisticated writer from New York and Lexie Darnell, the beautiful librarian from Boone Creek, become engaged. The reason they become engaged so soon is that Lexie is pregnant. Jeremy is not sure that he is the father, but he proceeds anyway despite the warning signs. He decides to move to Boone Creek even though he is not sure it will work for career and personal happiness. As the couple get closer and closer to the wedding and the arrival of the baby, new challenges come their way. Throughout the book they are required to make difficult decisions and personal sacrifices if they want to stay together as a couple. In the end true love prevails. The ending of the story is not as I would have predicted, but made the story seem like a true story. Written on June 27, 2008 Summary: 200 pages of overused cliches later ... After reading this book, I feel like Nicholas Sparks woke up in the middle of the night and went "aha! tearjerker moment!" and then quickly slapped together a story in order to get his "tearjerker moment" published. He could have easily done away with the first 200 + pages of the book, possibly leaving a better story at the end. I liked True Believer (enough to look forward to this one, anyway) as well as a few of his other books. This book was unsatisfying, the drama felt forced and the dialog dry. It was full of cliches', which made it feel poorly written. If it were his first book, perhaps I would be a little more understanding, but he's written so many! Any writer worth their stock should know to avoid the phrase, "And for the first time in what felt like forever". Very disappointed in this one. Would not recommend it, will not read it again. |
