review 1: The obvious comparison would be to Nicholas Sparks. I've read a few Sparks novels and enjoyed them, but they're too sappy, too obvious, too romantic. I like Baron's writing better. He's more intelligent, less about the romance and more about the story, the characters, and the setting. At first, the story was sort of boring, but I realized that Baron was painting a picture, and he had to sketch it out first before he could put the color on it. I like that this is a story that could happen in "real life." It isn't far-fetched or hard to believe. The people and locations feel real. I could imagine everything and envision everything clearly. Speaking about the book to my sister, I felt as if I were talking about people and places that I actually knew. Is Baron the best writer ... moreI've ever read? No. Is this the best book I've ever read? No. But will I remember this book years from now? Yes.I recommend this novel to people who love love, who enjoy reading about people falling in love, to whom their families and hometowns are important.
review 2: Its the first "Girlie" book written by a bloke that I've read. It was good. Normally I don't read feely type books, ever, but I recommend this one. From a bloke's perspective one can connect with the character. A seemingly easy or simple plot but nonetheless kept me interested to see how his relationship with his brother's girl frend grew. Very easy to read and quite different. Not everyday one reads about men and their feelings. Well done Michael Baron. Time for some science fiction, crime or war novels ...... less
