See Me

by Nicholas Sparks

I normally love Nicholas Sparks' novels, but this one was too slow, and didn't get going until about halfway through. The characters were just too perfectly perfect (Maria was the beautiful hispanic lawyer, and Colin the perfectly bad-guy boyfriend. Lily was just not "real" as far as I was concerned), but then maybe I'm jealous of perfection. I like to be able to relate to the characters just a little bit.

Once the story really got started, the book was okay, but definitely not in the same vein as The Lucky One or Nights in Rodanthe, both of which I liked better than even Message in a Bottle.

I'm glad I read the book, but it will go into the Goodwill box.
