I don't care what anyone says...Nicholas Sparks is a great writer, and he makes writing about love seem easy.

Message in a bottle was one of those book that remained with me even after years of reading it and suddenly it was on my recommended section of kindle so I start reading it again. If you don't know like all sparks novel this is a tearjerker and did I cry like a baby everytime. I'm not a huge Nicholas sparks fan but I like his stories.
This book is emotionally charged, and like the majority of Sparks's works, it has the saddest ending. Along the way, there are beach houses, oceans, boats, love letters, and romances. However, as is frequently the case, reality and emotions soon come between them, and they must also deal with their misunderstandings. Overall, this was a typical Sparks work that is also a mega tearjerker and a beautiful love story.
The book has its faults like the depiction of women by a male author is evident through out the dialogues. The story often feels unrealistic too. But in the end the central theme and emotions of this book still outweighs the negative aspects.

Четох я като хлапе, но си спомням, че не ми хареса - дори тогава ми се видя твърде драматична. Майка ми мисли, че не съм била дорасла за нея. Сега се чудя да давам ли втори шанс на Спаркс?

Διαβάζεται "ευχάριστα" (όσο ευχάριστος μπορείς να είναι ο Σπαρκς), αλλά παραμένει μια πολύ κλισέ ερωτική ιστορία. Ακόμη και το twist στο τέλος το βρήκα αναμενόμενο. Παρόλ' αυτά, καταφέρνει να συγκινήσει και να περάσει ένα ωραίο μήνυμα ότι η ζωή και η αγάπη συνεχίζεται.

I wrote a review, but Goodreads collapsed (twice), and I don’t have a draft…
Anyway… To be short. Worst book of the year for me: male gaze, infantile male character, stalking female character (who also checks out her breasts first thing in the morning), badly written sex scene, the ending to disappoint those who believe in second chances (I didn’t care). From an ex salesman turned author, who opened a private Christian school and was a center of the scandal about his homophobic emails and banning student’s LGBT club. What a chap! He lives in NC, and his books, as far as I understand, are all set there.
Read it as a part of a volunteering program I am in, so tried my best not to cringe, laugh and make faces while reading aloud… (left some comments on the copy I was given, oops).
A star is given for the happiness I felt when I finished!

My first Nicholas Sparks book. Very good and I couldn’t wait to read more by this author, who is now one of my favorites.

I found this a little hard to get into at first,I think this was because I personally couldn't relate to Theresa. I felt that this was a very typical Nicholas Sparks book and that I could guess what was going to happen, but I still cried like a baby.
