I feel like my eyeballs are perpetually stuck to the inside of my skull with how much I rolled them during this book. It’s not believable, the characters make dumb early twenties decisions despite being 35+. It’s just not good.

There are times im a Nicholas Sparks fan and times I am not! I am a fan of Every Breath. The book was great and I loved the story line. How Nicholas Sparks found the idea for this book was just as great. But honestly, I wasn't crazy about the ending of the book. I guess I just wanted more of the story to live on. To me, it kind of felt like it wasn't done.

This book was so good! Nicholas Sparks never fails with romance, and this book definitely showcases that as well as sad and touching story. Would definitely recommend this read! :)

2 and 1/2 stars
I read a review that said it better than I can so I'm quoting from it:
"This was a major issue for me. Sparks was going for a soulmates/destiny/magical feeling about this couple based on how they instantly felt emotions that couldn't be explained. I'm not necessarily against that in books, but in this case it made their supposed depth of feelings seem artificial and shallow. In short, I just didn't believe it. The actual development of their romance was almost non-existent in the book. Which made the unchanged intensity of their feelings after 25 years to be laughable. On one hand, this was a fairy tale type of romance. On the other, it was bone jarringly realistic in regards to the effects of Hope's rash choices. I don't think you can have it both ways and end up with a cohesive plot."
