A bend in a Road by Nicholas sparks.
I read this story on a vacation, a mini break, in a warm place on a beach. at the beginning I thought it would be a typical love story, a man meets a woman, they fall in love.
Well, that was actually true, it's about a man who meets a woman, they fall in love. but still, there's another story.
The main character Miles Ryan meets Sarah Andrews, the teacher of his second grade son. his son is motherless, for his wife has died, or was killed in accident, as Miles claims. even after two years of the accident, after he meets Sarah, he wants to know who "killed" his wife. His wife's accident hunts him, specially when he gets the chance to know who was responsible.
I thought this book was different from other Nicholas Spark's novels I've read (which weren't many), because it also had a little kind of mystery (the investigation around the "crime"). And the style was nice, not as different, but I liked it.
In brief, I enjoyed this book, but it didn't make me cry, just few tiny tears (I tend to be easily affected). and it's still not my favorite book by Sparks.

Bridget Jones the Edge of Reason
As the prequel I read it again. and even though I had a huge exam (linguistics) I managed to finish this on every fast.
As some of you might know this one is based on Persuasion, like it's prequel was based on Pride and Prejudice (both by Jane Austen). the first one may have the best plot, and usually sequels aren't as good. but let me just say this: the edge of reason (the book ) is by 1000000000 times better than the film. the only advantage that the film has is the fact that there are Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth. and the fact that Hugh Grant has a big rule in the film (talking about the 2nd here) was a very unnecessary.
In the second book Bridget is more mature (IMHO), eventhough she's persuaded by her friends to leave her boyfriend - perfect and dashing Mr. Darcy.
The book contains amusing lines, hilarious scenes, and whatever you can find to read for pleasure. and it's like the first one, so true and Bridget is still one of us, she represents the girls. every single girl has at least a little Bridget in herself.
But what was even more fascinating about this book is rule of Colin Firth as Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. he was mentioned a lot of times in this books, and there's a chapter where Bridget herself goes to interview him in Rome, asking him about Mr Darcy. hilarious interview, cannot be missed, and it's too bad it only appeared as an extra on DVD.
IF it was up to me, I would read this one again and again for all my life. I LOVE Bridget Jones and LOVE MR DARCY/COLIN FIRTH.
