Review of
Instaread Summary, Analysis & Review of Nicholas
Sparks's Two by Two
Four out of five stars
While the book
being described has many of the traits of a romance novel, as the author of the
summary states:
“In terms of genre, Two by Two skews heavily towards romance; however, it’s a chaste
novel in that it focuses on feelings more than sensuality.”
The plot
centers on a couple where they start out with the husband and father working
while the mother stays at home to take care of their busy daughter. When the
husband decides to go independent and his income dries up, there is a change of
roles. The wife goes to work while the husband becomes the care provider. There
is a great deal of stress in the marriage with an inevitable drift to a split.
Although it is clear that there was a great deal of tension before the role
reversal.
There are
several other important and most likely necessary characters in the story that
give it more literary flesh. The summary presents the novel as a fairly routine
story with no dramatic events, everything is described as being an iterative
process. Relationships incrementally deteriorate while others concurrently rise
to take their place, making it a novel about life.
From the
summary, it is clear that if you are someone that enjoys stories about life
changes with an emphasis on personal feelings, then you will most likely find
the book worth reading. Other than that, probably not.
