Hey guys! I’m restarting my book review series! As you may already know, Nicholas sparks is one of my favorite authors. His books are such a warm, sweet addition to any reading list. A Bend in the Road was no exception. This book had a couple twists that were unexpected but underneath it all, there was a warm blossoming of an unexpected relationship.
My personal book review: All in all, I recommend that you read this book! I was able to read in just a couple days because I didn’t want to put it down. I would rate this book a solid 7.5/10!
Also, just a little tip for all the bookworms out there: if you are a fan of having a physical book to read instead of a digital one, Target is my far the cheapest option for books! I’ve yet to find a new book cheaper on Walmart, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble. If course, Target doesn’t have every book under the sun, but if the book you want is available at Target, get it there! Not to mention, if you start a Target Circle account (free rewards program) you save additional money + can even get money back to spend later at Target!

Summary of the book:
Miles Ryan’s life seemed to end the day his wife was killed in a hit-and-run accident two years ago. Missy had been his first love, and Miles fervently believes she will be his last. As a deputy in the North Carolina town of New Bern, Miles Ryan not only grieves for Missy, but also longs to bring the unknown driver to justice. Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews. The second grade teacher of his son, Jonah, Sarah had left Baltimore after a difficult divorce to start over in the gentler surroundings of New Bern. Perhaps it’s her own emotional wounds that make her sensitive to the hurt she first sees in Jonah’s eyes, and then his father’s.
Tentatively, Sarah and Miles reach out to each other. Soon they are both laughing for the first time in years . . . and falling in love. Neither will be able to guess how closely linked they are to a shocking secret—one that will force them to question everything they ever believed in . . . and make a heartbreaking choice that will change their lives forever.
