    <body><![CDATA[Nicholas Sparks is such a wonderful story teller.  I started this book last night at 3 AM when I couldn't sleep, and less than 24 hours later I was finished.  I couldn't put it down! <br/><br/>The sweet, secret romance that took place between Adrienne and Paul was so romantic.  Just about every woman dreams of the whirlwind romance that is portrayed in the novel.  <br/><br/>That said, I felt this was more like a short-story than a novel.  It was over too quickly, and I felt that there could have been more to the romance and more to the overall storyline that would solidify the novel.  Additionally, I wanted to know more about the relationship between Jean and Adrienne, and was dying for the &quot;girl talk&quot; that I was thinking would normally take place in the setting Adrienne was in.<br/><br/>I did, however, like the way the novel was a story within a story as Adrienne shared her past with her daughter, Amanda.  It was the perfect setting for the story to play out.]]></body>
