My Review:
I’ve been a fan of Nicholas Sparks for a long time. I’ve
read a couple of his books and I’ve watched all his movies. I just love
everything about his stories. So when I received an email about if I wanted to
be a part of the blog tour of his new book… I was more than excited!! I jumped
up and down around our living room and I think I even screamed a little. Yep..
I admit.. I was totally having a fan girl moment. So when I received the
beautiful Sphere copy of ‘See Me’, I couldn’t wait to start reading.
In ‘See Me’ we meet Colin Hancock, a twenty eight year
old who had a very aggressive an troubled youth. Now he is given a second
chance in life, and he is doing his best to change his ways. Colin has started
college, works hard for his money and works out more than three times a day.
And above all he is getting his anger issues under control.

Maria is working hard in a respectable lawyers office.
She studied hard all her life, visits her parents regularly and she is very
close with her younger sister. To the outside world, Maria lives the perfect
life.

Colin and Maria couldn’t be more different, but when life
throws them together there is an instant attraction they can’t deny.

The thing with Nicholas Sparks his writing is that when
you start one of his books you just need to keep reading until the book is
finished. ‘See Me’ is no exception. From the very beginning, I was hooked to
every page of this book. The setting is beautiful and the characters are very
memorable. But what I loved most about ‘See Me’, is the way I really started to
care for the characters and felt like I knew them. Although Colin doesn’t sound
like a nice character when you first learn about his background, I really came
to love him and especially the way he talks with people. Colin is honest
against everyone and no matter what. Very impressive.

Maria is a character I could really relate to.. She’s
ambitious, works hard and she can worry about everything. And when she meets
Colin, she really doesn’t know what to think of him. She doubts herself and
above all she doubts the way she feels. I really enjoyed reading about Maria
and especially the way she interacted with her family.

The romance in this book is really sweet and touching and
I really loved every minute of it. There is also a little mystery/thriller part
going on in this book, and it really kept me hooked unto every single page.
