emotional reflective sad tense

I had somehow never seen the movie version before this but I definitely knew it was a tear-jerker. Not just because of the emotional storyline but the poignant way in which Nicholas Sparks writes.

His words entrance the reader and allows a very vivid look into the lives of these characters. Suspend a bit of belief and it’s a wonderful read.

My only wish is that there had been a final letter from Jamie, or anything that gave us a look into her POV after her death. I loved that it was told from Landon’s memory but to have heard from Jamie would have been nice! 5 stars regardless!

Book is sadder than the movie somehow. Anyway, I did not realize how short this book was… still good 3.5/5
