I picked this one up on a whim even though my library described it as a mystery book. It kept my attention and wasn’t as romantic as Sparks other books. There’s a couple story lines going at one time, but it’s fairly easy to keep up with. I will say that I was slightly disappointed in the epilogue, but Sparks has to keep the reputation going! Haha overall a good read!

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed by this one. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more had the romance been taken out and we just focused on the mysteries surrounding Callie and Trevor's grandfather. The romance between Trevor and Natalie felt a little bit problematic and didn't make me enjoy them and their place in the story.
