True Believer by Nicholas Sparks

This is billed as a classic love story, like everything else Mr. Sparks seems to pen. I enjoy a good love story, honestly. However, I have yet to find a Sparks novel that sparks anything other than a strong desire to nap for this avid reader. This novel started off promising, with two characters who were not what I first expected. This big city boy is anything but snobby and the small town girl is the kind with sass. The story line fell flat for me sometime in the first hundred pages, making the book drag on. I smiled a bit at the clever ending, but I'm just not sure it was worth it. 2 small smiles...and I feel I am being  generous.
