The SSR book I read was entitled, Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks, is a literary realism and romance novel. This novel has a total page count of 432 pages and was published on September 2nd, 2010. The protagonist's name is Katie Fieldman, a young woman who moves down to Southport, Carolina to start a new life by herself. She begins to build a life of her own alone and with barely any money to start with. Overtime, she's able to gain money from her waitress job down at Ivan's Fish Restaurant and is able to buy a small cottage on her own. She then meets Alex, the owner of the local grocery store in their small town, who is a single father of two kids. From then on they begin to fall in love,with large amounts of plot twists and drama from both of their pasts.
From the beginning, you're able to tell that Katie has a large amount of secrets and internal struggles. I really admired how the author was able to develop Katie as the story progresses and how her life in Southport changes her emotionally. Nicholas Sparks is very good with building suspenseful moments and creating shocking plot twists. Throughout the story there were numerous moments, where I believed I had guessed the ending and what originally happened to Katie, but Sparks continuously proved me wrong. The entire time I read this novel, it truly did not feel like a struggle to read at all. I was continuously intrigued and it kept me guessing the entire time, at one point I sat down the entire day to finish reading because it was so captivating. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and would recommend not only this novel, but Nicholas Sparks other novels too.

This seems like a very good book. The characters seem very intriguing and suspenseful. Being alone and living on your own seems so hard. Especially when she has no money to have a house. These type of books makes you appreciate what you have and not taking it for granted.

ReplyDeleteI loved the Notebook by Nicholas Sparks and I've always wanted to read and watch more of his work. Since I am a fan of the romantic genre I will definitely add this to the books I want to read.
