All of Nicholas Sparks books find love unexpectedly. The characters never find love when the seek it, instead love finds them. There is always a conflict, as Nicholas Sparks says in his interview, "In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy. (What would Romeo and Juliet be, for instance, if they both lived happily ever after?)" In his books Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook love does not conquer all. The only book where love beat out all the tragedy is A Bend in the Road. So what does a romance genre need to thrive? Seems to be tragedy.
