Every Breath is a beautifully crafted tale that comes with a small world feel, and characters that will ingrain themselves into your heart, and leave you permanently moved. Their story, while at times is heartbreaking, is also quite uplifting, one moment the tears were welling, the next I found myself smiling. With each page I turned the deeper I fell for these characters, and the more mesmerized I became with their magical story, it was downright absorbing! Highly recommend this one, it’s certain to give a nice little tug on the heartstrings!
I requested an advance copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
Always like anything I read from Nicholas. This was one of my favorites I am recovering from knee surgery and this book was an uplifting story to make my days go better..
Good book but didn’t like the ending.
This was ok but not as good as others he has written. Not very realistic in several ways which I won’t give away.
The Notebook was my all time favorite book, but Every Breath is.#2. I.highly recommended this book.
His stories always draw the reader in and make you want the story to never end.
Another wonderful story from Sparks. He is one of my favorite authors. I could never go wrong on his books.
A great excuse to shed some tears. I read it in one day. Loved it.
This story was wonderful and the characters were down-right real. Couldn’t put This book down as wanted to know what would happen next and anxious for the ending ! Want more still even tho I have finished the book….it is staying with me!

Every breath by Nicholas Sparks
Story starts with how the book came about by the author. Book starts with a man in Africa and his life there as a guide into the bush, as his family has done for years.
He’s heading to the US, everything is set…he’s to meet his bio dad. He says goodbye to his son and ex wife before heading to the airport. Drew’s father, who’s dying, was to arrive in a few days…
He wanders the beach and rescues a woman’s dog, Hope who recdeived Scotty from her boyrfriend of 6 years.
We learn about Hope who summered at Sunset Beach and the cottage is now being sold-she’s a nurse at the trauma center-Josh is a doctor. She’s really there for a friends wedding.
Alternating chapters from each so you hear both sides of the same story…
Super unique area-Kindred Spirit, love what it stands for as generations have used it.
Sex scene. She wants to follow her dream.. story continues several decades later and she’s downsizing and heading back to the ocean seashore to think of what she had given up…
AUthors stories usually have been ending with one happy and one tragically sad and this is similar to that theme.
Author fills in missing pieces of their lives over the lost years. Love learning about the locale and far away places and things that happen there.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
This was such a touching book about 2 people, in love. It was sad and I’m not ashamed to say that I cried.
Tru and Hope were great characters and as you read the book, you feel they’re pain.
I don’t want to say anymore and give something away.
Spark’s best book yet!
A great read! Nicolas Sparks need to write books more often!
