This is absolutely the worst book Nicholas Sparks has written yet. It's practically word for word (image by image) Sleeping with the Enemy. Seems he should be sued for copyright infringement or something. Almost everything in it mirrors the aforementioned movie. The characters are shallow, the bad husband is very one-dimensional, the writing is so redundant, the scriptural references don't have any foundation to the character who is always thinking them, and the ending was too contrived to be believable. I expect a little more uniqueness of ideas from Sparks, not a rehashed movie plot that's already been done.
