Typical Nicholas Sparks - you will cry. The story unfolded slowly, then as the pieces started to form towards the end I just had to finish the story to resolve the quandary and bring together the three separate events. In the real world there are components of love that just do not have the timing right, and this happens more than we want to accept. This was an enjoyable and humanistic read. Very satisfying.

I've always loved Nicholas Sparks books but this one felt very formulaic. I plodded through it but I didn't particularly enjoy it.

I don't know why I read this. I don't like straight people.

Definitely my least favorite Sparks book. The entire thing was not believable, even more so than his usual.
