The Return

3.5 stars

I've said it a million times before that Nicholas Sparks is my all time favorite author. I preordered this book and by the time it came in the mail I had been fighting off a slump for over a month. I decided to pick it up in the hopes that it would help me out of said slump and I think it did the job.

It was a little slow going for the first half of the book but I was intrigued enough to want to keep reading and find out what happened.

Like I said the first half was pretty slow going but the last half things picked up for me. I loved Callie's story the most. That was what I was most interested in while reading this. The romance however fell a little flat for me and was way too rushed. I would have more time with it.
I did enjoy the mystery included though. There are 3 characters that all have secrets of sorts and we learn them throughout the book. That was another thing that kept me reading. I had to know the truth about each of the characters.

Overall it was an enjoyable read and while it's not my favorite book by him I still had a fun time reading it and got teary eyed toward the end.
