Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks

4.0

A tragic but beautiful romance.

The book will get you interested immediately, getting you hooked the moment Theresa finds a bottle on a beach with a letter inside.

The chapters are long but you read through them pretty quickly. I don't usually like the narration style of writing, but it suites this novel. It gives you a chance to experience the sides of Theresa and Garrett without jumping perspectives for every chapter.

The two main characters are and aren't your everyday couple; Garrett struggles with the loss of his wife, Catherine, making it difficult to have a true relationship with Theresa. But there is a connection between them, a strong one, one that draws them together quick and makes them fall in love in a matter of days. The way they interact with each other is sweet and so natural.

After reading the last chapter, you will sit there for a few moments and feel the loss.
