Read in January, 2014This book caught my attention even though it's different from stories I usually read. I'm not into ghost stories, but if one just looks at this as a fantasy rather than reality, it is truly entertaining.Two sets of teenage sweethearts 80 years apart are brought together through events at this lighthouse on the Oregon coast. Ghosts of two women who died there seem to appear to people at the lighthouse, warning of danger, or in a couple of cases their appearance is to help someone in the lighthouse, in these cases, they appear to relatives..The romances are sweet, the kids are very likable and the stories are very good. Very good. They kept me up well into the night.My only recommendation to the reader would be to read all even-numbered story chapters first, then the odd numbered ones until about chapters 25 or 26. Every chapter switches from 1930s to present day, so it gets confusing. I found I wanted to read the chapters about the kids from the 30's all first, then all the present day ones. It flowed much better that way. Then of course they come together as you near the final chapters.Good read, but not what I'd call a "guy book", although some men might enjoy it. Nicholas Sparks-esque
