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.

Southern Charm

Not enough history of Lexi's family members and of how it would explain why she was raised by her grandmother.

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.

Carried you through but flattened out at the end.

Kept my interest, but not as much as True Believer, his previous book.
I didn’t like the ending. It was a let down. Why couldn’t he add the twist but work it out a different way?

Also, the narrative voice for Lexi didn’t convince me that she was a young, beautiful women as the character kept insisting.

sadden by the out come

What did you love best about At First Sight?

I loved hearing the rest of the story of jeremy and lexi.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Doris, she reminded me of my grandmother and how she was there for you and anyone that she came in contact with.

Have you listened to any of David Aaron Baker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The True Beliver I would say about the same

If you could take any character from At First Sight out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Jeremy, to talk to him about the changes in his life and how he dealt with all of them

Any additional comments?

I was so in love with this series and I was brought to tears to hear what happened to Lexi, I so wanted things to work out for them and to hear hoe they raised thier little girl. I still loved the ending but wished it was different.

Loved It

This was a great story. Although it starts a little slow, if the reader hangs in there, they are sure to discover a wonderful tale of life, and the simple pleasure of a man's love for his wife and child.
