Book Review: True Beleiver
Summary: 4 Stars
"This whole place is beautiful. I can see why you love it here."
Instead of responding, Lexie took a long breath, trying to settle her turbulent emotions. `What are you doing here, Jeremy?"
What is Jeremy Marsh doing in the small town, Boone Creek, North Carolina? This true New Yorker; young, handsome and charming, was supposed to be researching the mysterious, ghostly cemetery lights. During his stay, he finds himself not only uncovering a simple explanation, but uncovering a deep passion for a pretty local. Although everything is working against him and his feelings towards her, Jeremy Marsh finds himself falling hard for Lexie, who is worried about her already fragile heart.
My favorite part in the book was when Jeremy showed up at the lighthouse, which Lexie had taken refuge from him in, and Lexie sees him walking up the shore. She can't believe her eyes. Although she had ran away from him, her heart lit up with sparks when she saw that he had come to find her. This part really shows what Lexie is thinking, even though her actions might have shown something completely different. Also, the setting is described with great detail, making is twice as good.
True Believer's main idea is that no matter what the situation is love always finds a way to shine through it. Being from a tiny, secluded town where everyone knows everyone, Lexie doesn't want to leave any of it behind. Especially for this handsome man who would probably end up shattering her heart in the long run.
If you have ever lived in a small town, such as Boone Creek, then you should read this book. Nicholas Sparks captures the comfy feeling so well, you'll feel like you're living there, and have known the people who live there for years. To make this book just a tad better, I would drop some of Jeremy's thoughts such as, "Oh, I like her so much, but the elements involved make it so impossible..." It seems like that mushy stuff goes on forever. Besides that tiny detail, the book was very well written. It gave a good perspective on the entire situation, coming mostly from Jeremy's eyes. I think it gives a better image to the male gender, because it shows Jeremy's good feeling, not that stereotypical "Dude, that girl is smokin' hot!"
Summary of True Believer
Jeremy Marsh is a born skeptic and a science journalist who specializes in debunking the supernatural. When he hears about ghostly apparitions in a cemetery in Boone Creek, North Carolina, he leaves his beloved New York City for this small, rural town-and what his instincts tell him could make a great story. What he doesn't plan on is meeting and falling hopelessly in love with Lexie Darnell, who is sure of one thing: her future is here in Boone Creek, close to the people she loves. Now, if the young lovers are to be together, Jeremy must make a difficult choice: return to the life he knows in New York, or do something he could never do before... take a giant leap of faith.Literature & Fiction Books
