2nd book I've read from Sparks. I don't know how will I make a review without giving spoilers. 'Cause this book is full of surprises. It will literally make your mouth hang open in shock. So if you don't want any spoiler better stop reading now.
As I said, this is only the 2nd time I read his novels but I already found similarities between this one and Nights in Rodanthe --- letters, someone close to MC or LI had died and/or is emotionally distress. I don't know if it also goes with the rest of his novels.
Another thing is almost all his characters are matured people which make them reliable enough to hold the story. Although sometimes they're too good to be true like for example Alex. There were times that I wondered if a father like him do exists.
Then Kevin, the villain. I couldn't remember hating a character so much, I wanted to skip the part of his story. And if the author didn't describe him as 'handsome'I actually pictured him as a waddling guy with a beer belly. ugh
I found the ending a bit of non-closure particularly the part after Katie (btw, felt like the name Katie suits her more than Erin) killed Kevin. Twas a self-defense but she should have at least been interrogate especially she killed a cop, if you know what I mean. Twas like she just killed an annoying fly and then 'haha, we can eat peacefully again'.
Nevertheless I enjoyed this novel (you see, I always try my best to read any book as a reader and then make a review as an *err* writer). This novel is a helluva of emotions. If you're up for one with romance and thriller then give this one a chance.
