Nights in Rodanthe Book Review

Nights in Rodanthe is about Adrienne Willis, a 45 year old, divorced mother of 3. Who lives in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Adrienne helps a friend out by watching her beach front Bed and Breakfast in Rodanthe NC. It’s off-season at the Inn So there is only one visitor expected… Paul Flanner, a 54 year old, world-renowned doctor. Who just sold his practice and is moving to Ecuador to assist his son at a clinic. Paul and Adrienne have an immediate attraction, but try to keep it at just that, but as a couple days go by, their chemistry and attraction for each other intensify. Secrets are revealed and hearts are opened up, their short time together leave them staring down a road that neither of them saw coming.

This was a fantastic book. It is a bittersweet love story and will have you reaching for the Kleenex (as most Sparks’ books do). It is a story of 2 people that have lead two completely different lives that eventually led them to each other saving one another. This book will have you believing in fate and true love. I’ve also seen this movie, and although the general story line was the same, a lot was changed, I would definitely recommend reading the book before you see the movie, although both experiences are great. They both have something different to offer. Nights in Rodanthe is not only just a love story, but is a story on self-growth, I would highly recommend this book to anybody.
