The Guardian.. By Nicholas Sparks



A 29-year old widow, Julie Barenson's husband, Jim who died four years ago due to cancer, sends her a letter from beyond the grave along with a Great Dane puppy to make her happy. She names him "Singer", who helps her move on in life and find someone who can make her as happy again. 

Jim's lifelong friend, Mike is smitten with Julie, however, he doesn't have the courage to ask her out yet as she is dating another man named Richard. When he finally plucks up the courage, Julie decides to break up with Richard and go out with Mike instead. But Richard becomes obsessed with her and starts stalking her so much that Mike and Julie have to go into hiding. Little did they know that he is also a wanted criminal for double murder and would go to any length to get to her.

The story turns super interesting with Singer playing a major part in it!

All in all the book had good content with a few misplaced logic and will keep you engaged throughout, which is what matters at the end of the day. Also, it wouldn't be called so much as a thriller but there was a slight bit of suspense to the overall plot that makes it a little dramatic and enjoyable to read.

If I were to rate this book out of five, I would give it three stars just to keep me occupied until the end.

Happy Reading!!!
