Entertaining and insightful ...

My first Sparks novel. Couldn't put it down. Wonderful use of changing POV. External and internal dialogue flows swiftly like the swollen creek at the story's climax. Loved Keith Clayton's character.

Good but predictable

It was cute but predictable. I kept hoping to be surprised in someway. Not sure it was worth buying but certainly worth renting.

Cute, but predictable

Very predictable but a cute Sunday read. Not the narrator I'd have chosen but not bad.
