From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks comes a tender story of hope and joy; of sacrifice and forgiveness -- a moving reminder that love is possible at any age, at any time, and often comes when we least expect it. At forty-five, 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 named Paul Flanner arrives. At fifty-four, 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.
I haven't read many Nicholas Sparks' books, but the ones I have read were really good. Tear jerkers all of them. So I knew this one would follow suit.
I imagine it would be very hard to have your marriage end after 20 years together. I felt so bad for Adrienne and was completely drawn in to her story. Her strength and resilience through all the she went through was incredible. A great read, definitely one that requires Kleenexes nearby. ;)
Rating: 4/5

I'll have to reread this one sometime since I own it and all. ;)
Yeah, it sat on my bookshelf for at least five years before I finally picked it up. But it was good.
