Read in March, 2012


Sparks specialises in romantic chick lit, which all follow similar patterns but are all well written. This was no exception, easy to read, interesting, romantic with the typical plot you come to expect of Sparks novel.

I have not read a Sparks books for a while (as they can get to samey if you read them all at once) and this does help to ensure the books stay fresh. The story itself was a bit predictable and very mushy to read. But they do make for easy, light hearted, fun books to sink into. Good for beach reading or long journeys where you don't have to think about it.

Typical of Sparks story this was set in a small town in America, where the character had some dark secret she was escaping from, and found love in a new unexpected location. He tried to add a thriller twist but this was brief and it did not quite work in this novel. He also included some really irrelevant paragraphs where it felt like he was trying to hard to round off the characters and add some depth to the story.

Overal it was a good easy read. Nothing special or exciting about this but good enough to sink into. Again i read this in a day as it was easy to get into, easy to follow and not much to think about. I enjoyed this novel and if you want an easy fun chick lit this is a good place to start.
