Theresa Osborne is a divorced journalist who, while out jogging on a beach in North Carolina, finds a bottle with a letter inside. The letter is a heartfelt love note signed Garrett, addressed to someone named Catherine. She is moved, publishes it in her newspaper column, and finds more letters from the same man. Her search for the author takes her to the coast, where she meets Garrett Blake, a widower and boatbuilder still mourning his late wife. Nicholas Sparks builds the novel around love, grief and the question of whether a person can let go of the past.
It fits readers who enjoy romantic stories with a strong emotional pull and a seaside setting. Those who like to cry over a book will find it effective, and anyone interested in the author's early work will recognize his standard themes of loss and second chances.
Inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
