The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks

The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks (2008)
I have not read much of Nicholas Sparks, but I felt like a bit of a distraction, a not so serious read, and this one caught my attention at the library.

Logan returns from 3 tours in Iraq, and sets out to find a woman in a picture which he found discarded on base. This photo had become his lucky tailsman and kept him safe. Across the country, he meets with Beth who is helping her grandmother in a dog training business, and raising her young son. So on and so on, with the sappiness and predictability. I did like it though for its uncomplicated story and easy read, especially if you were lying on a tropical beach, instead of wintry Wellington.

3/5
