Dreamland

I started reading this book simply because it's a Nicholas Sparks book. When I got to the first “Beverly” I became confused. Not understanding why two seemingly unrelated stories were being told. After the switch back to Colby I decided to stop.

For the first time ever, I wasn't going to finish a Nicholas Sparks novel.

A few days later I read the synopsis and decided to continue reading it. I would say that is was the last half of the book that was difficult for me to put down. I found myself reading any chance I got. Which is how I normally read a Sparks novel.

When I realized just how the two stories connected I gasped and startled my husband with a loud “no” followed by “of course”. Because while the connection hadn't at all been what I was thinking, not even close, it was kind of an obvious connection if you knew there was supposed to be a connection. Had I NOT read the synopsis I would have been more shocked. Well done Mr Sparks. Well done.
