The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks
As much as I love watching all of Nicholas Sparks inspired movies like ‘A walk to remember’ and ‘The Notebook’, I am amazed at the fact that this is my very first Nicholas spark’s novel. This novel is really something. When I first picked out this book in the library, I was contemplating whether I should borrow it or not. But something told me to and hence, I did.
I never regretted borrowing this excellent novel.
Nicholas Sparks started off by introducing Deputy Keith Clayton. As usual, he was doing his usual rounds when he saw a group of girls having some fun together in the forest. Being the notorious and cheeky character of his, he took some photos of them. And that’s when Sparks introduced the main character of the book U.S. Marine Logan Thibault.
Logan Thibault went in search for the woman in a photo. The photo was just a picture of a woman. But somehow, that picture saved his life on 4 different deadly occasions during the Iraq war. He saw many of his fellow marines and friends die in front of him but somehow, he managed to survive the downfall. His best friend, Victor, told him that perhaps the woman in the photo was his destiny and he encouraged Thibault to go in search for her. Believing that she somehow holds the key to his destiny, he sets out on a journey across the country to find her, never expecting the strong but vulnerable woman he encounters in Hampton, North Carolina—Elizabeth, a divorced mother with a young son—to be the girl he’s been waiting his whole life to meet. Caught off guard by the attraction he feels, Thibault keeps the story of the photo, and his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a passionate and all-consuming love affair, the secret he is keeping will soon threaten to tear them apart—destroying not only their love, but also their lives
An interesting novel. Definitely a page-turner. I was so mesmerised and got so into the role of the characters that I managed to feel every emotion that was being portrayed. The best part about this novel is that it just keeps getting better and better as you keep reading on. It was so good that I managed to complete reading the book within a day. This novel is filled with tender romance and terrific suspense. It is an unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often take and the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting love!
The Lucky One’ is definitely another one of Nicholas Sparks’s amazing artworks. I would highly recommend this to everyone who wants to have a feel of how destiny and fate plays with our lives. Grab your coffee and start reading now! (:
