I am giving this four stars.
The last time I read a Nicholas Sparks book was in 2016 when Two by Two was published. Unlike his other books that I enjoyed reading in the past, it was not really an amazing read for me. Of course, he is a romance writer but not all of his subjects and plots are okay with me although they are also well-written. Here comes Every Breath which I think is better than the other books he wrote before. Of course, I love Message in A Bottle which was the first book I read of him, I also love A Walk To Remember. Except for a few titles that I’ve missed, I have read almost all of his books, courtesy of Nissa who deeply admire Nicholas Sparks’ writings. Fancy a male writer more in tune with women’s feelings, emotionally in touched with scenes that keep you hooked till the end.
Regrets of course always come last. Sometimes we make bad decisions that we have to live up to and maybe dream that someday, all would be well again. Every Breath is such a story, a story of hope, a story of true love.
It is such a joy to read another winner. It is such a joy to find a book that would make you believe that fate sometimes truly makes a way for you to enjoy the remaining days of your life. Love endures and it is always a blessing when you find that one true love.
As always I jotted down some quotes which I like in the book.
“A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences. Piece by piece, those decisions help to form the people we become.”
“One of the great things about a leaf,” he said to her, “is that it reminds you to live as well as you can for as long as you can, until it’s finally time to let go and allow yourself to drift away with grace.”
“Memories are a doorway to the past, and the more one treasures the memories, the wider the door will open.”
“Falling in love is the easy part; making that love last amid life’s varied challenges is an elusive dream for many.”
“Being loved deeply by someone gives you strength, and loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
