Welcome back, Literary Slummers! This fornight, we tackled our first Nicholas Sparks book, and wow, was it an experience. We had a lot of expectations going into this one. Some of them were met in hilarious and unnecessary ways. Others... well, let's just say it made for a good HateRead. Come along with us on this journey of creepy stalking and unsatisfying romance as we discuss Nicholas Sparks' 1998 classic, Message in a Bottle.

A very special thank you to Ben Cope for our theme song! Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/fretwiz.
