The trials of raising her teenage children and caring for her sick father have worn her down, but at the request of a friend and in hopes of respite, she's gone to the coastal village of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend the local inn for the weekend. With a major storm brewing, the time away doesn't look promising...until a guest named Paul Flanner arrives. At 54, Paul is a successful surgeon, but in the previous six months his life has unraveled into something he doesn't recognize. Estranged from his son and recently divorced, he's sold his practice and his home and has journeyed to this isolated town in hopes of closing a painful chapter in his past. Adrienne and Paul come together as the storm brews over Rodanthe, but what begins between them over the weekend will resonate throughout the rest of their lives, intertwining past and future, love and loss.

"(3.5 Stars) Sparks is a good author to come back to when I need a chill book that won't take a lot of brain power to consume. That's why I picked this one out and it delivered what I expected. I think a problem I have with romance books is I almost always draw conclusions and advice that are not in any way romantic. This book reinforced to me again how important it is to be there for your family and to spend quality time with them. Interpersonal connections are the most important of being human. As for the romantic part of this book, it was fine, if unrealistic. It felt like I was reading Frozen. I think that the letters and sentiment would have hit me harder if they were built up more. I'm a straight pessimist, I guess.
Well written as always, I'll be back at some point Sparks.
"She believed that romance and passion were possible at any age, but she'd listened to enough of her friends to know that many relationships ended up being more trouble than they were worth.""
"Love love loved it. That’s all. "

"I read this book because I too had a love story that was cut too short. Sometimes you don’t need to know everything about someone to know that you love them. This book resonates with me because it helps me to hold onto memories that I should probably let go of but can’t. Read this book and remind yourself that you should never settle for a love that doesn’t whisk your heart away. "
