The Note
One year ago Chellie Morris drove through a stop sign--less than a mile from her house--into the stampeding traffic of State Route 30. Nathan, her husband, arrived home after the accident to find a four-word note on a bookshelf; not a suicide note, not a goodbye, not even a reminder for something he might forget, just four unexplainable words.
Too much alcohol and too little sleep have turned the last 365 days into a stagnant haze. Painful flashes from the last day, uneven rewinds of the past, and the haunting words of the note chaotically rumble and roll through his mind.
Four words--only four words left.

The Note is by Reggie Turk. It is a very different novel. It is more of a psychological novel. I found it hard to get into but once in, I had to find the answers to some very interesting questions. What happened to Chellie? What will happen to Nathan and Emily? Why is Tom acting like he is? Who is Red?
Nathan was confused about the note that Chellie left. It made no sense and until he could figure it out, he couldn’t get over Chellie. He wasn’t even sure what their relationship had become. He knew he loved her the first time he saw her; but now he wasn’t sure of even that. All he had left of her was questions and her children Madison and Michael. His friend Jake knew Nathan was just going around in circles and needed to get out of his zone so he could really think. So Jake arranged for a babysitter and Nathan was to meet Jake at a nearby bar.
Jake’s babysitter happened to be his little sister Emily. Emily was having her own marital problems with Tom but agreed with Jake that she as well as Nathan needed to get out. What Jake didn’t know was that Emily was madly in love with Jake when they were young. She would do anything for him and him for her.
The situation fires up and begins moving fast as events happen and happen again all in the name of friends and friendship.

Disappointing ending
A very well written novel.. it began with a bang and continued throughout the book. However, the ending leaves the reader wondering what became of the 2 remaining couples involved in the plot.

Flat. Predictable.
After the first half of the book I started just skimming. Didn't miss a thing. Horribly edited, and I use the word loosely.

Not a bad read. Not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised that it kept my interest the whole way through. There are parts that need editing, and the end is a little abrupt, but in all it was a pretty decent book. AND, it's the first thing that I've ever read electronically. I'll have to do that with more books.

I rather liked this book. Although the ending was rather abrupt the characters were likable and I wanted the ending to be a happy one. Some loose tails flying in the wind at the end but all in all a good read.

Good but not my cup of tea. I'm sure others will appreciate it more than me.

I did not care for this book. First of all, it was double-spaced, which I have never seen in a novel before. It's double-spaced with paragraph indents that start halfway across the page, and in places there are extra spaces in between the paragraphs. It reminded me of writing term papers in college; stretching it out as much as I could to reach the page requirement. Since it's double-spaced, it's not really 233 pages. I also noticed a grammar mistake near the end. The author said "there heads" instead of "their heads." Not good no matter what, but even worse if it's true this author is a teacher.
As far as the story goes, it wasn't that interesting to me. I found the "four words on the note" mystery extremely anti-climatic. The four words and their meaning was not as mysterious and earth-shattering as the description leads you to believe. Most of the story focuses on a different storyline altogether.
Glad I got this book for free.

This book was not what I expected. I would not say it is a suspense but a love story with a twist. The characters in the story each have their own issues that they must deal with that lead to build up of what is going to happen in the story. Overall not a bad book to read.
