As some of you may have gathered, the three of us grew up in North Carolina. If you grew up in North Carolina, chances are you’ve had a beach trip at one point or another.
My grandparents lived in Atlantic Beach so I have many a fond childhood memories of long days spent posted up on the beach.
We recently rented a house on the Outer Banks and filled our days with reading, playing games, and lots of walks on the beach.
Now, I love the Outer Banks… but you know who loves the Outer Banks the most? Nicholas Sparks. The man is obsessed, and sets most of his books in the Outer Banks.
The Outer Banks are a series of barrier islands that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the mainland of North Carolina.
Every time I visit, I can’t help but think of Nicholas Sparks novels. Particularly since we were right next to Rodanthe.
Safe Haven will always top my list of Nicholas Sparks books! It’s so compelling!
Yes! Its such a good one! The Guardian has always been a favorite of mine since I’m sliiiightly dog obsessed:D
