The Lucky One, by Nicholas Sparks

The charge ran out on my Kindle while I was on vacation, and I had forgotten my charger. The rental home we were in had this book on the shelf, and I thought it would be an easy beach read. It was. The plot was perfectly entertaining for a lazy day at the beach. I enjoyed it just fine. But what a poorly written wreck of a book! Either Sparks is a moron or he thinks I am. I rolled my eyes right off the bat when there was a mystery woman known to the main character only as "E," and then a character popped up shortly thereafter named "Beth." He could have put a *little* more mystery into that one! Even reversing it would have been trickier (i.e. a mystery woman named "B" and a character named Elizabeth).

This was my first Sparks book I've ever read, and I'd like to say it was my last. But who knows when else I might get stranded on a beach without a Kindle.
