Publisher's summary

Nicholas Sparks brings back two characters from his beloved best seller, True Believer, in this continuing saga of extraordinary love.

There are few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: He'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.

Stop with the music!!

The music added in between chapters was distracting and completely unnecessary. Would’ve rated higher if not for that.

If you like Sparks you will like this book

This is well in line with Sparks' other books in terms of themes and character development; a good relatively light listen.

Sparks never misses!

I am always touched by his tenderness of his subjects McAnd I cry at the end of almost every book I hope that someone else is able to get this message from his books because I never fail to enjoy them. But remember to keep it clean his clothes because I always need one. Thank you Mr. sparks for your thoughtfullness.

their commitment and faith

Kept my interest, but the sad part was a tear jerker. Had good ending despite losing Lexi.

starts a little slow- my husband didn't make it

I hung in there and it all ties together. it is a sad beautiful story of life and wonder. maybe more of a chick thing. So glad to have read it.

A Good Love Story

What made the experience of listening to At First Sight the most enjoyable?

The two different culture of the main characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lexi was my favorite character because of her wisdom that she used in most of the situations.

What three words best describe David Aaron Baker’s performance?

A good job.

If you could rename At First Sight, what would you call it?

I think it is a good title because not everything is as it first seems.

Any additional comments?

As far a fiction goes it was a good listen.

Great follow up from True Believer

I enjoyed the follow up from True Believer bur I feel there is still more to this story that could be told. I hope there is another book.

Easy reading, surprise ending!

Any additional comments?

It's a book about romance, couple fights, the discovery of finding and living with the one you truly love and changing your life completely in order to be with this special person. But the plot changes dramatically by the middle of the book, and you could never have imagined the way it's gonna end. It's sad and touching at the same time.

WOW! Laugh, love, Cry, laugh, love, cry!

I loved this book. Love story with some medical information, family life, new baby, and all. There was a part or two I didn't like, but only because it was sad. A lot of feeling, caring, love and dispair.
