At First Sight is a follow up to Sparks' "True Believer". In True Believer, Jeremy Marsh is a scientific/paranormal debunker who went to investigate the eerie lights of the Boone Creek cemetery in NC. While investigating the lights Jeremy falls madly in love with Lexie Darnell (the town librarian).
The last time we saw Jeremy Marsh we learned that he is moving from NYC in exchange for the small town of Boone Creek and he's going to be a father. As Jeremy adjusts to his life in the small southern town he is plagued by the inability to write while second guessing his relationship with Lexie.
In this book Jeremy and Lexie are preparing for the arrival of their first child, buying a home, and planning a wedding. The stresses of life are overwhelming Jeremy and putting a major strain on his ability to write. It doesn't help when mysterious emails arrive casting doubts on his relationship with Lexie; Jeremy begins to wonder is the child really his, how much does he and Lexie really know about one another, and what other secrets is Lexie keeping??
In At First Sight love does conquer all, but it definitely doesn't offer the typical Sparks ending (Boy meets girl and lives happily ever after). We learned a lot about Lexie and Jeremy in True Believer and in this follow up book you watch them move onto the next big adventure together. I think between the two books you really become attached to the central characters and you want Jeremy and Lexie's relationship to work out; I guess it's almost something you expect. So, in the end, I think the twist will be a bit surprising but very touching. I had to hold back my tears a couple times...
Happy Reading!
