How far would you go to escape your abuser? How would you react when they find you?
Beautifully written. Handles the topics of abuse and grief very well. Great, easy read.

Why is the man with kids ALWAYS a widower? Why can't authors leave the poor wives alone? The idea seems so silly to me, because it is so overused, and I would love for once that it was just an ordinary divorce with a still-existing, normal ex-wife. But apparently nothing is sexier than nuclear families, I guess?
In general I was a bit annoyed throughout the book. I hated the heroine's new BFF - she was a very two-dimensional character and annoying.
I honestly felt really irritated by the plot twist in the end. It was so overdone and cheesy.
What I did like was the flashbacks to the heroine's history and the bad guy's POV. The book was also pleasently fast paced and the point of no return exciting.
But it was not enough to make me particularly like this book. Again not a bad book, but it was definitely not what I hoped for, and now I am ready to quit on Nicholas Sparks forever.
