See Me by Nicholas Sparks
There have been several Nicholas Sparks books that I have read and enjoyed. This was not one of them. My advice move on, unless you are a huge fan of his, or simply want to kill 4 hours. I didn't think it was as good as most of his other books - but it wasn't terrible. As with most of Nicholas Sparks books, they are interesting while reading them and at keeping your attention but the moment I close the cover and re-shelf the book, I've forgotten the characters.
It has everything readers have come to expect: a brooding male lead, disapproving parents and a desire not to ruin a second chance. Maybe the only difference is that, "See Me" is more than a love story; it might even be categorized as a suspenseful thriller.
Set in North Carolina, the story centers around Maria Sanchez, a Duke-educated lawyer whose Mexican immigrant parents run a popular restaurant. Enter Colin, who is striving to make amends with his current anger and his violent past. Their two worlds collide on a highway and the plot-line of suspense begins and keeps the reader somewhat interested to the end. Yes, it's predictable and we see glimpses of a budding love beginning to blossom. Maria admits that prior to meeting him, she could never have pictured herself with someone like Colin. It appears that the acceptance of each other's flaws and the pure honesty in confessing about each other's lives that gradually remove that doubt and fear. Gosh, didn't see that coming (not).
While I thought the book was worth finishing (proves I'll read most anything...), I did feel that it generally lacked something, almost as if the story didn't go deep enough into the characters, but remained superficial. Other than the two main characters, I knew virtually nothing about the supporting cast, and frankly didn't care.
