Safe Haven

Not my usual fare but read it bc reasons. Good: The star couple are lovable characters, the kids are ok, the villain is despicable. It's a compelling read with feels. Bad: Excessive hyphens. Author's world is extremely white and straight. Diversity is only hinted at in a caricature way. There's some lazy, sloppy writing when the villain is given the clue he needs on a silver platter & is somewhat excused in the way white terrorists are in the USA ; mental issues. Improbable fluff, but ok fluff.

Safe haven is a book about a girl,Katie who is heartbroken and is running away from her past.She enters a new town and starts her new life by reserving herself from almost everyone.But then she meets two people-Jo and Alex. Alex is a widowed father of two kids and Jo is Katie's mysterious new neighbor. Slowly things start unravelling and Katie starts adjusting in her life and slowly falls in love with Alex. But is there something which she is holding back? Something about her past life? To know about it,read the book! Trust me,you won't regret reading it.It is so well written that you never feel bored.Hats off to Nicholas Sparks for presenting such a beatiful story.

I enjoyed the book and felt it was money well spent. A romance between two characters who have faced sadness in their lives. Note - one of the characters is a victim of spouse abuse.
