When Theresa Osborne takes a much-needed summer holiday at Cape Cod, she finds a lot more than a break from the hustle and bustle. On an early-morning jog along Cape Cod Bay, she comes across a corked bottle with a scrolled-up message inside that reads, "My Dearest Catherine, I miss you, my darling, as I always do, but today is especially hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together..." It bobbles around in the same vein for several more paragraphs and ends with "...am alone on the pier and I do not care what others think as I bow my head and cry and cry and cry. Garret." Garret may eat quiche, but no bother--before you can say "Look! I found two more letters!" Theresa is hot on his trail and determined to find this mysterious yet sensitive message-in-a-bottle man. She finds him at a sleepy North Carolina port, working on his beloved sailboat, The Happenstance. From there, a romance buds and blossoms into a colorful bouquet of emotional baggage. Theresa has problems with her past--or, more accurately, her past is a problem. She is so scarred from her "I'm a super churchgoing guy now that I've run out on my wife" ex-husband that she hasn't tried to date since her divorce some three or four years before. And who is Catherine? And what's Garret's bag, anyway? When Theresa finds out, she plunges to the depths of her soul and uncorks a whopper of a secret about herself, bringing Garret to terms with who he really is. Message in a Bottle has the earmarks of sentimental tongue-wagging at its finest and should please romantics and cynics alike--it's sure to bring romantics to their knees, while cynics will be slapping theirs in laughter. --Rebekah Warren Product Description: If you thought The Notebook was a tearjerker, get out the hankies, pull up a chair, and get ready to have your heart monkey-wrenched by Nicholas Sparks's secondstar-crossed love story, Message in a Bottle.

 Rating:  - Message in a BottleLike most of Sparks love novels, this novel is unique within its own story. Theresa Osborne is taking vacation in Cape Cod when she comes across a bottle, that has paper in it. She opens it to find out that a man named Garrett has written a letter to his wife revealing his love for her. Theresa is intrigued by this letter and wants to find out more about Garrett. She is divorced and lonely. So, she embarks on a journey to see if others have found similar messages and actually finds ... Read More Rating:  - The worst since "Bridges of Madison County"Formulaic, patronizing and dull. I'm just glad it was loaned to me, and that I didn't waste my money, just my time. The last time I read something this poorly written, it was "The Bridges of Madison County". If you liked that level of writing, you'll love this. Rating: - Can't believe it is the same author as The NotebookAfter reading The Notebook, I was excited to pick up another hyped Nicolas Sparks book. But boy oh boy was it such a let-down. A third of the way through I started rolling my eyes. When I was half way though, I found that I didn't really care about the two characters and how their "relationship" would become. Three quarter through, I was hoping for one of them to die (how horrible was that!?). I just wish it was Theresa who died. She was a creepy stalker who jumped into bed with a practical stranger. ... Read More Rating:  - Far better than the movie!I admit that I used to be a "movie only" person. But Sparks has changed that! With the exception of "The Notebook", his stories are superior to the movies they've turned out. I read this before even knowing there WAS a movie then tried to watch. I had Matthew M. as Garrett, Costener disappointed me. In other words...READ THIS BOOK!! Rating: - All about TragicI love the story because I love the plot of this story. The book is far more bewitching than the movie. If people just being simple and contributed for their lovers, may it will lead to the happiness. Whoever you are, a love loser, a divorced woman, a widower, walk out of your past and be acceptable. Believe God has other plans for you. Every step in your life will give you much more benifit for your future life, it's all about treasure, don't dwell on it. Move on!
