Product Description
Nicholas Sparks brings back two characters from his beloved bestseller, True Believer, in this continuing saga of extraordinary love. There are few things Jeremy Marsh was sure hed never do: hed 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 couples marriage.

 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.

 Bland at best
I should have known after reading "The Wedding" not to read this one but it was on sale so I bought it. Was boring and predictable. I had to force myself to finish it. The main charachter learns a major lesson about life and love and thats great I suppose but its so cliche and really not worthy of a whole novel....
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they were on a REALLY long flight and had run out of all reading material. :(

 WoW ( wwarner4787 )
Great sequel to "True Believer" as it continues right where it left off. Alot of twist and turns and of course with Sparks writing always alot of drama. Great Overall book with surprise ending. If you have "True Believer" you have to get this to continue the wonderful story.

 An interesting sequel
It was nice to have a follow up, but like many sequels this fell short.

Romance and heartbreak come to life under narrator David Aaron Baker's smooth and excellent reading ( mwbookrevw )
Jeremy has long been certain he'll never leave New York City, love again, nor become a parent: now he's living in North Carolina, engaged, and anticipating a new family - until a mysterious email challenges their new marriage. Romance and heartbreak come to life under narrator David Aaron Baker's smooth and excellent reading, certain to appeal to any audio library where romance is of interest.
