Product Description:
There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.
While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

I read this book after reading True Believer- the first story about Jeremy Marsh and Lexie. I really enjoyed this story and the way the characters developed. To expect either of them to be perfect would require the reader to believe that there are "perfect people" in this world. None of us are. We all have both strengths and weaknesses, as did the both of them and I think the author showed us that. He also showed us that we can be strong even in adversity, even if we don't start out thinking so.....This is a wonderful story, and I will be looking at some of the other books Nicholas Sparks has written.

The book was typical of Sparks' style, and I was fortunate to listen to it on tape. The descriptions of love and bliss made me grin unconsciously and I thought about it often. Until earlier today. I couldn't finish the final disc after it became known of the horrible ending Sparks left us with. The other problems the couple dealt with was enough for one book, the ending was not necessary. Granted I could not finish it...but I would have much preferred something less dismal for the ending. I'm going to pretend the two lived a happy life with Claire and Jeremy got the life he clearly deserved.

This was a fantastic book but with Nicholas Sparks as the author there was no doubt. He continues to be one of my favorite authors.

The first book I read by Nicholas Sparks frustrated me and made me unhappy. So unhappy that for years I refused to read another. A friend told me I had to read the "Believer" book so I did, and actually REALLY, really liked it. So I picked up the sequel. Once again I experienced complete frustration due to the expected and somewhat predicted ending. Well, that's the last book I will read by Mr. Sparks. It is almost a given that there is going to be a tragedy. I know life is rough, heck, at my age, I've seen a lot of the "worst of times". I read to escape, to find different views on life, etc. It just seems this author is stuck in the "Fall in love, be really happy, lover tragically dies - and we have all kinds of subtle messages too" mode.
I must grudgingly admit that I really do enjoy this author's style and character development. Though not exceptionally deep the characters are believable and interesting. However, the first book I read, Nights In Rodanthe, infuriated me because the author felt he had to step in and give brief little glimpses into the future - I hate that. So when the predicted future arrived, I decided not to waste my time with by this author. Now, after reading "At First Sight", I know I will avoid a future publications by Mr. Sparks. I'll find more upbeat and less predictable novels by upbeat authors, like maybe Dean Koontz.
