In the romantic tradition of The Notebook and Nights in Rodanthe, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with a story about a chance encounter that becomes a touchstone for two vastly different individuals -- transcending decades, continents, and the bittersweet workings of fate.Hope Anderson is at a crossroads. At thirty-six, she's been dating her boyfriend, an orthopedic surgeon, for six years. With no wedding plans in sight, and her father recently diagnosed with ALS, she decides to use a week at her family's cottage in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, to ready the house for sale and mull over some difficult decisions about her future.Tru Walls has never visited North Carolina but is summoned to Sunset Beach by a letter from a man claiming to be his father. A safari guide, born and raised in Zimbabwe, Tru hopes to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding his mother's early life and recapture memories lost with her death. When the two strangers cross paths, their connection is as electric as it is unfathomable . . . but in the immersive days that follow, their feelings for each other will give way to choices that pit family duty against personal happiness in devastating ways. Illuminating life's heartbreaking regrets and enduring hope, EVERY BREATH explores the many facets of love that lay claim to our deepest loyalties -- and asks the question, How long can a dream survive?

To have a love that had withstood decades of being apart with so heartbreakingly beautiful. Knowing that over all that time their love never faded. How they were both looking for each in their time of need. This incredible connection!!!

It‘s truly amazing that this was based on a true real life couple.

I‘m so use to seeing my untouched Nicholas Sparks TBR stack that I never think to add one to my BookSpin lists. This month I added two and both were the chosen numbers! ...Is it completely corny that I loved this book with big Nights in Rodanthe feels!?

ValerieAndBooks I attended junior high school with Nick Sparks and his brother! 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y
marleed @ValerieAndBooks Oh my goodness, I bet it‘s fun to read his books and discover influences to a story that you would understand in ways other readers wouldn‘t even consider. 3y
See All 12 Comments
ValerieAndBooks @marleed to be honest I‘ve only read a few of his novels. It‘s funny — he was in my journalism class and track team. He was the grade behind me and his brother was in my grade and in some of my classes. But they were with the popular crowd and I wasn‘t 🙂. Then in my first real job after college, a co-worker happened to be good friends with them & was on the scene when his (Nick‘s) mom died. It wasn‘t until years later when their memoir 👇 (edited) 3y
ValerieAndBooks (Memoir is tagged) came out that I realized that this popular author who I never read at that point was the same person from junior HS! And, small world…my oldest‘s freshman college roommate (a few yrs ago) is from the same town in NC where Nick now lives and are family friends with them. 3y
TheHeartlandBookFairy Ooohhh, I have a copy of that sitting in one of my TBR stacks! 3y
marleed @ValerieAndBooks what a great story! 3y
marleed @TheHeartlandBookFairy @TheAromaofBooks my Nicholas Sarks TBR stack is about to tumble so it felt great to move one to the read pile. And funny thing that my double spin is also an NS! 3y
Cvfrailing This is on my book shelf- I think it will be next I miss his books - it‘s been a while 3y
marleed @Cvfrailing I‘m determined to make way to the other side of my stack. Actually, I was thinking I should just stack them all as TBR. It‘s been so long since I read a few that I loved. I‘m interested to see if i get the same feels at this point in my life. 3y
Cvfrailing @marleed agreed that‘s why I haven‘t picked it up yet. Will I still love him as much as I did in my 20-30‘s 3y

This is one of my favorite books by him. I love how he went out of his way to make this book happen, got to know the people, and made something with it. The story will forever stay with me, and makes me love Nicholas Sparks even more as an author. Definitely recommend this to anyone that hasn't read it yet. 😊

I finally read a #bookspin after a few months of reading other stuff 🥰 this book was lovely and made me cry a bit, but a couple reasons it‘s not getting a #pick and only so-so from me... I‘ve never been much for romance books, and second I was a little bit disappointed about the part he makes you think is non-fiction, but turns out is fiction. I would like it better if it was actually more real.

I‘ve always been a sucker for a bittersweet Nicholas Sparks book and boy, he didn‘t disappoint with this one! I thought it was extremely clever that he inserted himself into the story through the Prologue/Epilogue and reading T&H‘s love story as if they were real people out there in the world gave this book an element that touched my heart. Turns out, they are fictional afterall, but it‘s nice to think about. Heart wrenching read but so sweet!

I like the Zimbabwe part. I would‘ve enjoyed more of it, unexpectedly. The rest was okay. Tru‘s character is great. Would‘ve liked more. Hope is kind of boring. Zero tension. Easy, pleasant enough read.

This made me sad. A tale of a truly in-loved couple separated for years and found a way to reunite through the magic of a lonely mail box is pretty unique. It reminds me of the “Message in a Bottle”😀. Very interesting indeed.

I like Nicholas Sparks books for escape-reading and who doesn‘t need a good escape these days? This book definitely did the trick. I love Sparks‘ N.C. settings, and now all I want to do is read the letters from Kindred Spirit!

This was also a Book Club choice and it definitely didn't disappoint me. As per his usual bar, Nicholas Sparks amazing writing brought tears to my eyes many times during this story.

This was a lovely tale of two lovers separated by time/circumstance.

I would recommend this book to... Well, anyone.

Another good book by Nicholas Sparks. He starts and ends it as though he is part of the story and why he wrote it. I liked that aspect of this book, it seems like it really happened. Hope lives in North Carolina, Tru is from Africa. They meet over a weekend and a lifetime of longing takes place.

Planning for a family trip and the first thing I do is pick out books to read. 📚 Obviously the most important things to bring!

We are going to the east coast for a beach vaca 🏖 , so I picked out books that are based there. As such, Nicholas Sparks books are the majority. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can‘t wait! Less than a week away!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Nicholas Sparks says at the beginning "I'm comfortable describing this book as a novel and not a work of nonfiction." How he explains how he even began to write this novel was so intriguing and beautiful. Knowing that such a place exists is magical and makes me want to head there one day. Bird Island near Sunset Beach, North Carolina. KINDRED SPIRIT.

As usual Nicholas Sparks‘s has a way to touch the heart with likable characters you want to get to know. Not as heart wrenching as most of his books. An easy few hour read.

It has been years and years since I have read a Sparks novel. I found this book about missed chances, regret and fate, to be sweet and heartbreaking. At one point toward the end, I yelled out loud, " What the f***, Nicholas Sparks". I forgot how tragic his books can be. Not just a love story set on a beach.

sammisho #newyearwhodis @monalyisha Thank you so much for putting together this fun event! I had a blast. @veehabib I so enjoyed your picks, even if every single one made me cry! 😂 You really picked wonderful books! I still have one more on my library hold list, I will let you know what I think! 5y

A story of love lost and found that allows us to ponder what are we willing and able to do with love that meets us unexpectedly. I picked up this book due to the setting at Sunset Beach NC and Kindred Spirit-a place very special to me when I turned 50.
