I just finished reading Nicholas Sparks' True Believers. It's a book about Jeremy Marsh - a sci fi writer and debunker of the supernatural. He's a New York native and divorcee whose not only smart but incredibly charming and handsome.Jeremy receives a letter requesting he visit Boone Creek, NC in order to debunk the ghostly lights in the local cemetery. Amongst the small town charm and southern hospitality Jeremy finds himself falling in love with local girl and librarian - Lexie. It's a witty and complicated courtship that leaves the reader saying "don't be so hard-headed"!!!
I've always said I'm a sucker for a good love story - and though I've read only one other novel by Mr. Sparks I agree with someone who said something to the effect - "his books are the same....two people fall in love but can't be together and then somehow in the end they find a way to be together"(LOL). Sometimes you can be in the mood for a romance story you know that's not going to break your heart - and for that we can rely upon Nicholas Sparks.
So if you're a sucker for a love story (like me) and you don't want to be left emotioanally sad and drained then I think you'd be in the mood for something from his long list of love stories. True Believers is a short read and being from the south myself, it was particularly nice to read.
