The reason I read Nicholas Sparks' books is because of a.) their endings and b.) the fact that his books are very easy reads. When I don't feel like reading anything extensive or in depth, Nicholas Sparks is a good author to turn to. Nights in Rodanthe was that kind of book, an easy read. It had some beautiful quotes, because it's Nicholas Sparks and that's what he does, and it also has a beautiful love story. I love the ending, which comes as no surprise, because I tend to like how Sparks wraps up his stories.
This book is about a lady whose husband leaves her, and leaves her as the only one to raise their children and pay the bills. It is also about a man whose wife leaves him, and leaves him to deal with his selfishness and workaholic attitude on his own. When both this man and woman meet at a sea-side inn, they fall in love, not because they view each other as perfect, but because they admire the flaws they see in one another.
The end of the novel had me in tears, which also is no surprise, since I tend to do that when Sparks wraps up his stories.
My favorite quote of the book, and one that is a total mirror of my thoughts recently is, "Outside, rain was falling. Listening to the gentle tapping against the glass, she was thankful for its steady sense of familiarity. Remembering those days always aroused a mixture of emotions in her-something akin to, but not quite, nostalgia. Nostalgia was often romanticized, with these memories, there was no reason to make them any more romantic than they already were."
