Jeremy gives up the life he has in New York to live and eventually marry Lexie, a pregnant girl who insists on living in small town NC. He does this without knowing much about her. His friend, Andy, questions his thinking about this move. Lexie was confident, almost bossy, must have her way type of person. Yet by the end you understood her better and could care about her. Story dragged in the middle when Jeremy has trouble with his job as a writer, becomes more questioning about his decision. The ending surprised me but fit into the way it needed to play out. Spoiler: I expected Lexie to leave him, not die. Starting slow and painting a picture of characters whom don’t show any chemistry between them; At First Sight remains this way throughout the book until the last couple of chapters which are fully emotional. Sparks writes what is supposed to be a love story of a guy whom moves to a small town to get married and have a baby with a girl that he loves. Lexie is however written in a way in which lacks any liking of her and can seem pushy while Jeremy does everything that he can for her. This makes the book hard to get through however it is not until the last couple of chapters that though emotional makes the book easier to read. no reviews | add a review
