good story, but the three perspectives was more confusing than helpful in telling the story well.
this was my first Nicholas Sparkes book. I liked it, but I didn't Love it.
Me tomo más tiempo del esperado leer este libro porque a pesar de que ame las historias de amor, había ciertos aspectos que se me hacían algo cansados y otros un tanto ridículos. Aunque creo que la idea de la foto y la suerte y el ir a buscarla es un concepto demasiado lindo también tengo que admitir que al principio se me hizo algo extraño.
“Cuando alguien te engaña, la primera vez es culpa suya, la segunda vez, la culpa es tuya.”
Keith Clayton claramente se me hizo muy desesperante y de cierta forma su final me hizo “odiarlo menos” por decirlo de una manera. Logan se me hizo demasiado perfecto y un caballero total, claro que comete sus errores (eran de esperarse) y creo que se resolvieron de una manera muy rápida, pero tenía sentido. Beth, Ben y Nana me encantaron totalmente, aunque Beth me desespero una que otra vez.
"Soy tal y como me ves, y creía que tú, de entre todas las personas del mundo, lo comprenderías.”
Es el segundo libro de Nicholas Sparks que leo y debo admitir que me gustó más “El viaje más largo” pero estoy lista para leer uno con un poco más de drama.

It was a very good book, even if the movie was very different.
It was a big surprise when i read that Logan and Keith were carried away by the river at the end. And then i was even more surprised when i read that Logan survived.

This was the first Nicholas Sparks book I've read, and I must have liked it, because I read it in one sitting. The writing itself isn't excellent--it's missing the diction that I love in my favorite authors' writing--but the story is great. Sparks must have a knack for that sort of thing since they keep making his books into movies. However, the book structure was so intricate that I don't know how a screenwriter could possibly replicate that in a movie. Luckily, I've never seen one of the movies, so I don't have to worry about it.
Overall, Sparks writes books that girls would love, and I'd recommend this one to any of them.

Nicholas Sparks is one of my faves. I just love his characters and how smooth his writing is. The Lucky One definitely goes on my list of Sparks favorites. Great drama at the end with great resolution... although the resolution is obvious, I would have been sad if it had been any other way.
This is my third Nicolas Sparks book and I have to say that unlike the others The Lucky One took me awhile to get into.
After Logan Thibault finds a picture or a beautiful girl, while on tour in Iraq, he is called Lucky by his friends. As Logan suffers the lost of fellow friends he sticks to his belief that the picture is not lucky. But something prevents him from parting from it. After five years, because of a friend, he decides to find the girl in the picture. When he finally finds her Logan will learn what his destiny is.
Elizabeth is struggling to take care of her nana, her nana’s farm, being a teacher, being single parent and trying to put up with her ex-husband crap. She wishes for the love and comfort of someone else but isn’t hopeful. She doesn’t know that her life is about to change.
When Logan starts to work on nana’s farm he isn’t looking to fall in love with the girl in the picture. As Logan spends time with Ben, Elizabeth’s son, and her nana, she starts to warm up to him. After finding that spending time with Logan is peaceful and comforting Elizabeth starts to fall in love with him. Logan realizes that he’s always been in love with the girl in the photo. But Logan is keeping secrets from Elizabeth and she can’t understand why. Until Clayton, her ex intervenes…
Clayton doesn’t care about anyone but himself. And he wants Elizabeth as a friend with benefits. He doesn’t want another man around his ex-wife or son and will do anything to make sure it stays that way. To top it off, Clayton hates Thibault with a passion. When he discovers Logan’s secret Clayton quickly shares it with Elizabeth hoping that he would be her shoulder to cry on and in the process hook up with her. Things don’t work out that way.
As we take a trip down Logan’s life you learn of all the good and bad that happen in a Marine’s life. Although life in the Marines was filled with very sad times, I enjoyed reading them and many times caught myself in tears. I found myself enjoying the flashbacks more than the present. The only thing in the present I enjoyed was Zeus, Logan’s dog companion, and Ben. Ben was enjoyable to read about especially the times he spent with Logan and Zeus.
The love story is wonderful but the love between the characters themselves was very flat. I wished that they had more interactions and there were more dialogue instead of so many 3rd person monologues. Because of that I had to give The Lucky One 4 stars instead of 5.

Loved the lead up to the love connection, but was disappointed by the predictability for the accident. Although, still guessing during the epilogue for a moment. This is an easy read with nice moments but definitely not amazing...
