DID NOT FINISH

Abgebrochen auf Seite 83.

Das erste Nicholas Sparks Buch seit 7 Jahren. Wieso genau fand ich seine Romane damals so toll? Ich kann es wirklich nicht mehr sagen…

Die Storyline wäre vielleicht noch interessant geworden, aber die Charaktere sind dermaßen klischeehaft und eindimensional, dass es kaum auszuhalten war.

Die junge, hübsche Andrea in ihren Miniröcken ist selbstverständlich - trotz abgeschlossene Ausbildung - inkompetent in ihrem Job und absolut naiv, wenn es um die Liebe geht: Bad Boys mit Tattoos und Harleys.

Julie, unsere Hauptprotagonistin, ist natürlich klug, hübsch und kompetent in ihrem Job - ohne abgeschlossene Ausbildung -, macht sich nichts aus Äußerlichkeiten und trägt deswegen „Schlapper-Look“. Trotzdem können sich zwei charmante Männer nicht von ihr fern halten, weil sie etwas ✨besonderes✨ ist. Ugh. No thank you.

This has got to be my favorite Nicholas Sparks book. No spoilers here, but you need to check out this book! Great, great story!

This book started as a normal Nicholas Sparks novel and it hits you with twist and turns surprising you at every turn. I loved the characters and the back story on each person. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't wait until the story unfolded to see what would happen. Great read.

One of the best Nicholas Sparks books in my opinion

I did not catch the "suspense" descriptor before starting this, so it was not the listen I was expecting 🙈 it was definitely more thriller than Typical Nicolas Sparks romantic drama. It was a bit too slow paced and too much on the thriller (as opposed to mystery) side of suspense for me.

This is a book I reread often. I think this is one of THE BEST storylines Nicholas Sparks has written and it doesn't get enough hype! This book has such a good build up and an insane ending. Honestly would make such a great movie.
