Jeremy gives up the life he has in New York to live and eventually marry Lexie, a pregnant girl who insists on living in small town NC. He does this without knowing much about her. His friend, Andy, questions his thinking about this move. Lexie was confident, almost bossy, must have her way type of person. Yet by the end you understood her better and could care about her. Story dragged in the middle when Jeremy has trouble with his job as a writer, becomes more questioning about his decision. The ending surprised me but fit into the way it needed to play out. Spoiler: I expected Lexie to leave him, not die. Starting slow and painting a picture of characters whom don’t show any chemistry between them; At First Sight remains this way throughout the book until the last couple of chapters which are fully emotional. Sparks writes what is supposed to be a love story of a guy whom moves to a small town to get married and have a baby with a girl that he loves. Lexie is however written in a way in which lacks any liking of her and can seem pushy while Jeremy does everything that he can for her. This makes the book hard to get through however it is not until the last couple of chapters that though emotional makes the book easier to read. no reviews | add a review

HTML:In this #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to True Believer, a young couple's love faces the ultimate test when the past disrupts the life and family they've built together. 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.
