At 45, Adrienne Willis must rethink her entire life when her husband abandons her for a younger woman. Reeling with heartache and in search of a respite, she flees to the small coastal town of Rodanthe, North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. But when a major storm starts moving in, it appears that Adrienne's perfect getaway will be ruined-until a guest naed Paul Flanner arrives. At 54, Paul has just sold his medical practice and come to Rodanthe to escape his own shattered past. Now, with the storm closing in, two wounded people will turn to each other for comfort-and in one weekend, set in motion feelings that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

Fast read, but beware...it is a tearjerker! I think I will go back to my mystery/thrillers for awhile. One good cry like that can last you for awhile! *smile*

A woman thinks she's past her prime, a man reawakens her...passion burns, hearts break.

This is a good EASY read. Sort of predictable but entertaining - I liked it very much and now would like to rent the DVD. mkm

When her husband leaves her for a younger woman, Adrienne Willis is thrust into a devastating midlife crisis. Suddenly abandoned at 45, she reels without purpose. Lacking any clear plan, she accepts a friend's invitation and flees for a weekend to the small coastal town of Rodanthe, North Carolina. Located near the northern tip of Hatteras Island, this Outer Banks retreat seems well suited to be a quiet respite, but a brutal storm destroys any sense of sanctuary. Adrienne's stranding is complicated and relieved by the presence of Paul Flanner, a 54-year-old physician with his own shattered past. The author of A Bend in the Road and Message in a Bottle has once again delivered a twisting tale about human relationships.

This book was a quick read and I really enjoyed it. I am just glad I was by myself when reading it as I teared up several times and I'm a guy. It was a great love story.

L really loved this book! I was reading it at the hospital where my Mom was having surgery and my Daughter picked it up and started reading it as well.When I was finished with it I gave it to her and she loved it as well.Great read!!!

Get the kleenex ready!!!! This book was truly a tear jerker. I loved it though, I only wish I had NEVER seen the movie. The most important part of the book to me was the relationship between mother and daughter and it was competely left out in te movie. In the book the only reasons the mother shares her story was because he daughter had just lost her husband and didn't want to go on living. She thought her mother could never understand the loss of a spouce because she was divorced from her father. Then her mom begins to tell her of a man she fell in love with and how she understand more than her daughter can ever imagine.

Lovely little weepy of a story. Finished the whole thing in one trans-Atlantic flight and enjoyed it thoroughly, although probably wouldn't go see the movie until it shows up on Lifetime TV.

Good book.

I usually get bored easily by books but this book was excellent! I was waiting for the movie since I hate to read but my daughter bought me this book and insisted that I read it. I am so glad that I did! The movie did not do the book justice in my opinion. The book was awesome but the movie was a total dissapointment to me.Once I got past the first couple of chapters this book kept me on the edge of my seat! If you like Nicholas Sparks books you will love this one!

I read this book in one day. I couldn't put it down. I love to read the book before I see the movie, the book is always so much better. This is a modern day love story....

A fast and easily read romance. The mother-daughter relationship portrayed helped to appreciate the female relationships in my life.

This book was captivating, the movie does not compare. Read the book, love the story, skip the movie.
