There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.
While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.

Summary: Terrible waste of time
Comment: This book was terrible. Seriously one of the worst books I've ever read. Don't waste your time. Instead, read Nights in Rodanthe.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A beautiful gift. Thank you, Mr. Sparks!
Comment: If "True Believer" was a big disappointment, the sequel, "At First Sight", was almost a shock. A great and wonderful surprise. What a beautiful book! About love, joy and sorrow. About life in all its reality, the greatest loss, the greatest gift.
The first part of the book may be a bit like "True Believer" in as much as it tends to be too detailed. I think that with proper editing, the main facts from "True Believer" plus a more to the point version of the first half of "At First Sight" - together with the incredible last part and ending, would have made one perfect book. Concenctrating on love and life, the ghosts and mysteries a side line.
But nothing can ruin the beauty and sincerety of "At First Sight" after Lexie and Jeremy's wedding. Lexie seems transformed in this book, or is it just that her earlier behaviour is finally thoroughly explained?
"True Believer" felt like robbery. "At First Sight" a gift. After having finished it, I sat for a long time with the book in my hands. Love. What matters more in our short lives?
A beautiful gift. Thank you, Mr. Sparks!

Summary: Beautiful story
Comment: I'm so glad I read True Believer first, because I didn't know this was a sequel to it. I kind of agree with another reviewer that said the novels should have been one, but maybe Sparks wasn't planning a sequel when he wrote True Believer. I loved True Believer, hated for it to end, so I was excited when I realized At First Sight was a continuation. This book really made me think more about how important the little things are in life, and how wonderful it is to have someone truly love you.
