True Believer by Nicholas Sparks
3.0

2.5/5 stars

This book had been on my TBR for years. The premise didn't really interest me much, but I love a lot of Nicholas Sparks books. I finally decided to give this book a read, but I should have gotten rid of it a long time ago.

The characters were just okay, and I really hated Lexie. She acted so immature, and she made Jeremy do everything in the relationship.

The plot was okay, but the romance was weird and sudden. I didn't like the "insta-love" that Jeremy had towards Lexie.

I love the way Nicholas Sparks writes because of the way he describes things. Unfortunately, this book fell short.

The way that the POVs kept switching without warning was kind of jarring to the reading experience.

The side characters were mostly unlikable such as Jeremy's friends or Rodney.

What was up with that ending?!?

Honestly, this was the worst Nicholas Sparks book I've read so far. He has a lot of books that I love, but this was definitely not one of them.
