At First Sight

by Nicholas Sparks
As told by: Nicholas Sparks

Grand Central Publishing | September 1, 2007 | Mass Market Paperbound

There are a 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.


Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.

While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks''s most deeply moving love stories.

    Loved this book!

    I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks, I have read a bunch of his books and own almost all of them. I really got into this book and didn't know it was a sequel, I wasn't lost and it stood well on its own. I couldn't put it down and finished it in a few days. The ending caught me off guard and it was very sad, with that said it was heartwarming to see how the characters evolved. Keep tissues close near the end you will need them!

    I couldn't get into the story for the first few chapters, then once I finally did, everything went wrong. I got involved with these characters, and I was just lead to sadness in the end.

    is this your first nicholas sparks book? Someone always dies or suffers tragedy in every one of his books. I rarely read him unless i'm looking to be sad

    A Bittersweet Story

    After meeting Lexie Darnell a short time ago in Boone Creek, Jeremy Marsh finds himself packing up his life in New York and moving to the small town in North Carolina to be with Lexie, who is now his fiance and carrying his miracle baby. When Lexie and Jeremy should be happy and enjoying their life together, the opposite is happening. A writers block is causing Jeremy to be frustrated, and mysterious e-mails questioning his decision to be with Lexie leave him on edge. Except the worst is yet to come, leaving jeremy questioning his faith and love.

    I found this book very touching and emotional, which isn't a surprise when it comes to any of Nicholas Sparks' books. After about halfway through, the book headed into a direction i was not expecting. I found At First Sight to be a bittersweet book, Although it is filled with Betrayal and Tragedy, It is also filled with Healing, Love, and Self Growth. Nicholas Sparks is known for his tear-jerkers so like any other of his books, make sure the kleenex is nearby because they will be needed. I also thought that Sparks did a great job writing about what couples really go through during marriage and pregnancy, it wasn't sugar coated. I found it very real, and I'm sure some woman or men could relate. Overall i find this book another great one by Nicholas Sparks. I would even like a third installment of these books. I would recommed this book to any sparks fan, True Believer and At First sight were very enjoyable reads.
