At First Sight

4.5 out of 5

10,794 global ratings

In this #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to True Believer, a young couple's love faces the ultimate test when the past disrupts the life and family they've built together.

There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.

Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.

While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

I hope there is a book 3. But at least with book 1 & 2 I couldn't put the book down. I loved the writing style. I loved the story. I loved the characters. And I'm looking forward to other stories by Nicholas Sparks.

As always Mr. Sparks doesn’t fail. My first book of his The Notebook hooked me into reading all of his novels. He brings love and loss into his characters so real that this reader becomes totally involved in their lives. Another very surprising ending. Loved it.

I’m living in NC , just 40 miles from where this author lives, so I recognize the places he talks about. This makes me feel as if I am right there in the book with the characters.

All of Nicholas Sparks' books are wonderful--every story--and they are all so different. Once I found him, I had to read everything he wrote--just waiting for the next one.

tear jerker

No spoilers here but in true Sparks fashion this book brought me to tears. Definitely is a reflection of real life not the happily ever after we want when reading or watching movies. But I still couldn’t out it down

This book is lovely, like all of Mr. Sparks others. Definitely a tear jerker at the end, but very sweet. I loved it.

It was a quick sad story but it pleasurable to read. I think the author could have done a better job if he stopped being so repetitive.
