Adversity

Yes, I'm a book snob. I admit it. And yet, I'm not above enjoying a trendy popular book. I gladly read the entire Twilight series, for pete's sake!

But it took everything I had to force my way to the end of this book. I overlooked the dull sentence structure, the lifeless characters...even managed to get over that horrendous grammatical error that set me off in the early chapters. But Sparks is so damn heavyhanded with his forshadowing, it ruined what might otherwise have been a mildly interesting turn of events.

The saving grace was that because of all these things, it was the work of a few hours to read the whole thing. So now I have done my duty as an American bookseller and have versed myself in the immensely popular Nicholas Sparks. But truthfully? I didn't really care about Sarah and Miles any more than I cared about Bella and Edward. ( )

Con el recuerdo de su mujer aún vivo en la memoria, Miles Ryan conoce a Sarah Andrews, la nueva maestra de su hijo, que acaba de llegar a la ciudad con el propósito de rehacer su vida. Tímidamente, Sarah y Miles se abren el uno al otro, y muy pronto rién por primera vez en mucho tiempo. Sin embargo, mientras empiezan a superar el doloroso pasado, ambos ignoran cuán ligados están a un terrible secreto, un secreto que los obligará a cuestionar todo aquello en lo que creían y, finalmente, a tomar una desgarradora decisión que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.
