I have been a big fan of Nicholas Sparks for a long time. It goes without saying that I would read this book as well. See me is a bit different than his other books. There is a lot of mystery in this book, with a bit of a thriller twist. I felt Safe Haven was sort of leaning toward this style of writing, but it still heavily relied on the intimacy of the main characters.
We can all agree that Nicholas Sparks has a way with romantic notions. What I like so much about this book is that the romance is more on the level of truly getting to know the other person and accepting who they are. I like that the two main characters come from they types of families that are at opposite ends of the spectrum and still find a common ground.
Then you have the suspense portion of the book. Maria is a lawyer who going through some work related issues, including the return of someone from her past. Colin has some temper issues that have caused him to come into contact with the police. His character flaws have caused many to disbelieve him and the intentions of his actions. Only those who are closest to him seem to truly understand the weight of his actions.
I also like that a younger woman, Maria's sister, seems so insightful, yet people tend to just brush her off as a young college student. I like the empowerment of women in the book. Yet somehow he still maintains that a man can be there as a safety net in the form of a partnership.
There is a lot going on in the book and the character building is extensive. In the end though, you still end up with the warm fuzzies that a Sparks book generally leaves you with.
Happy reading!
