About this ebook

Treat yourself to an epic #1 New York Times bestselling love story that spans decades and continents as two people at a crossroads -- one from North Carolina and one from Zimbabwe -- experience the transcendence and heartbreak of true love.
Hope Anderson has some important choices to make. 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 heartbreaking regrets and enduring hope, Every Breath explores the many facets of love that lay claim to our deepest loyalties while asking a life-changing question: How long can a dream survive?

Ratings and reviews

This is not a fast moving story, but I did enjoy it. In my opinion Nicholas Sparks did a good job of describing two worlds. Tru from Africa and Hope from North Carolina. I felt Nicholas Sparks did a good job of bringing me into Africa, I could also feel Tru's love for Africa. I never doubt Nicholas Sparks ability to bring you into the world of North Carolina. For me this was not the tear jerker that many of Nicholas Sparks books. In one review I read the reader became annoyed with Hope and her being selfish. In my opinion yes Hope was selfish, but she knew what she wanted, I found this admirable. She did not compromise what she wanted, when I find most people do compromise what they want. Even with all she got she still missed out on other things. I found myself sad for her. Overall I liked Every Breath. I read Every Breath through the library.

A good book, but it felt like it ended abruptly. Like it needed a few more chapters :/, overall I would definitely recommend it though!

I loved this book! I love most of his books though. Rarely does he give you a love story in which everyone lives happily ever after. These stories are so realistic. The characters are flawed. They make decisions that have consequences, sometimes good and sometimes bad. These characters were beautifully developed. I felt for them. I had a hard time putting this book down. I fully recommend it to anyone and everyone.
