A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks

abendintheroadin 5 Stars|Goodreads|Amazon You think I would learn my lessons reading NS books, but they always get me. I KNOW they are going to make me cry, and when they do I want to smack myself for not seeing it coming, Throw in some mystery and romance with all the FEELS and this was a book I was HOOKED on. I couldn't get enough of it. I love a story that not only has the past twisted in, but hope of the future. It always leaves me with a full feeling at the end. This novel came full circle or me. It had all the aspects of the characters I wanted to see and not only did it have its pain plot, it had FANTASTIC side stories throughout it. A little slow paced through out the novel, but a story that I fell in love with in the end. Thrilling and fun.
