Book Review #1

I thought it might be fun to review all the books that I read throughout the year. I read tons (I get 2 hours most days at work to read, gotta love nap time) and am always looking for the next good book. Maybe someone out there in cyberworld is looking for a book to so I thought I would share.
The first book that I read in 2011 was Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks.
Description (from Nicholas Sparks himself)
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo’s empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

Review
I LOVE Nicholas Sparks books because they are easy reads full of emotions (usually sad). I can usually predict what will happen in his books though. This one had a twist at the end that I did not see coming. Someone even told me that there was a twist and I still didn't see it coming. All in all I think this was one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks book.
