Title: IF this was my first Sparks book, it would have been my last!
Product review: People must be starved for romance. That's the only reason I can see people would give this book 5 stars. Or, possibly it was assummed it must be good because of previous Sparks books. I wanted to like it. The plot had great possibilities. Sparks just did not write in the same style as his other books. All of his books I have read (Notebook, Wedding, A Walk to Remember) kept me glued to the page and even had me wanting to just start the book immediately over again when I finished. This one was an effort to get through. The dialogue was probably better on the screen where you can see the expressions and body language. On the written page, it was trite and embarrassing. The characters seemed one-dimensional.
