The Return by Nicholas Sparks

2.0

I used to be a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks but, sadly, I have not liked his last 4 books. I think I may just have to stop reading his books. I found this to be incredibly slow. I’m surprised I managed to finish it! It is written in first person and centers around a very detailed backstory of the main characters grandfather. A lot of narration and not enough dialogue for my taste. It was hard to connect with any of the characters so I found myself not really caring about any storylines. I really didn’t like Natalie. I feel we didn’t get to know her well and she didn’t talk much. How Natalie and Trevor fell in love after having 4 tense, awkward conversations just baffled me. Really can’t think of anything I liked about the book.
