[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

Every Breath reminded me of one of Nicholas Sparks' earlier works, Message in a Bottle, how fate and the power of a letter can transform the roads one takes.

After reading the forward and learning that this was based on a true story I was excited to begin reading Nicholas Sparks' first semi-non-fiction novel.  Tru and Hope were lovely, inspiring characters that one can route for.  The story was well paced, and throughout the novel could not believe this not-the-right-time story was true.

Like most Nicholas Sparks' novels, they always lead to a few teary moments. Like The Notebook it is a beautiful, inspiring plot.

Unfortunately, when I read the afterward Sparks' admits that the only true aspect of the novel was the community mailbox which ultimately brought the two lovers together. Like One Million Little Pieces and Go Ask Alice I felt slightly cheated. However, I quickly got over it as I still throughly enjoyed this heart-warming romance, I just wish the author had been upfront about its inspiration.
