Message in a Bottle
Author: Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks is our very best chronicler of the human heart. His stunning first novel, The Notebook, has been given by friend to friend and lover to lover all over the world as a testament to the timeless power of love. But if we thought he could never again move us so deeply, he now shows us he can-in a story that renews our faith in destiny... more »...in the ability of true lovers to find each other no matter where, no matter when... Message In A Bottle Thrown to the waves, and to fate, the bottle could have ended up anywhere. Instead, it is found just three weeks after it begins its journey. Theresa Osborne, divorced and the mother of a twelve-year-old son, picks it up during a seaside vacation from her job as a Boston newspaper columnist. Inside is a letter that opens with: My Dearest Catherine, I miss you my darling, as I always do, but today is particularly hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together...For "Garrett," the man who signs the letter, the message is the only way he knows to express his undying love for a woman he has lost. For Theresa, wary of romance since her husband shattered her trust, the message raises questions that intrigue her. Who are Garrett and Catherine? Where is he now? What is his story?Challenged by the mystery, and pulled to find Garrett by emotions she does not fully understand, Theresa begins a search that takes her to a sunlit coastal town and an unexpected confrontation. Brought together by chance-or something more powerful-Theresa and Garrett are people whose lives are about to touch for a purpose, in a tale that resonates with our deepest hopes for finding that special someone and everlasting love.Shimmering with suspense and emotional intensity, Message in a Bottle takes readers on a hunt for the truth about a man and his memories, and about both the heartbreaking fragility and enormous strength of love. For those who cherished The Notebook and readers waiting to discover the magic of Nicholas Sparks's storytelling, here is his new, achingly lovely novel of happenstance, desire, and the choices that matter most...A Main Selection of The Literary Guild and of Doubleday Book Club "Nicholas Sparks...will not let you go. His novel shines." -Dallas Morning News "Proves that good things come in small packages....A classic tale of love." -Christian Science Monitor "Sparks generates authentic emotional power....If you are in need of a good cry, The Notebook is absolutely the right book." -USA Today

Although I kind of resent it for making me cry so hard, I absolutely loved this book. The tale is sweet and heart renching at the same time. I hate what happened toward the end, but that's part of the emotional lure of the book.

Urgh... I couldn't stand this book. I only read it in bits and pieces when I ran out of other reading material (I did not have much money, and I didn't know about PBS swap at that time). It was funny how much I disliked this book. I have liked all of the other Sparks books I have read, and "A Walk to Remember" is one of my favorite books.
