Book: Safe Haven

We all know that Nicholas Sparks has an amazing way of writing a story, that is not only well written but also pulls at your heart strings. While reading this book I went through a roller coaster of emotions. I was happy, sad, angry, frustrated and I think at times I caught myself holding my breath to see what was coming next. This book is an amazing read, full of surprises that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Safe Haven is about a mysterious woman named Katie, who moves into a quiet town in North Carolina. While she tries to keep a low profile she starts to build strong relationships with her neighbour Jo, and she soon becomes involved with Alex, a widowed man with two children. As she starts to fall in love, and build a new life, she continues to look over her shoulder as she has dark secret that looms over her. A secret so haunting, that made Katie flee across the the country. Will Katie ever be able to find peace and love with a past that continues to follow her? You will have to read this book to find out.

My Favourite Quotes:

"Everyone has a past, but that's just it- it's in the past. You can learn from it, but you can't change it."

"Maybe I don't want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I'd like to be defined by what I am."

"..nothing wonderful lasted forever. Joy was as fleeting as a shooting star that crossed the evening sky, ready to blink out at any moment."

"It's never to late to do the right thing."

"Every couple needs to argue now and then. Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive. Long-term relationships, the ones that matter, are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys."

Thanks for reading!
