Well written, sometimes hard to pick up due to small font/long chapters, insanely sad and frustrating ending.
I always enjoy Nicholas Spark's books, and this didn't disappoint. A story of a man with a difficult childhood. He distances himself from his family and moves in with a quiet man who gives him his space. He meets a girl and falls in love, but he is from the wrong side of the tracks and his family disapproves. They both move on. When the man who had taken him in dies, they reconnect. He is challenged by his family and by events from his past.
My brother brought me this book as soon as it came out as he knows I'm such a big fan of Nicholas Sparks.
I was surprised by how much I liked this book as its not like most of his others. The two main characters give younger people that are in relationships despite what others think, all the hope in the world and it also shows that after someone has passed they continue to live around you whether you see them or not.
Books rarely make me cry but reading this book you get such an insight into Dawson and Amanda's past that you can't help but feel emotional throughout this book.
I myself am only 17 but know that my mum could easily relate to the situation Amanda was in with Frank.
Defiantly reccomned this book!

The book was a little too predictable for me. Also there was just a lot going, maybe did not focus enough on the Dawson and Amanda relationship enough for me.
I thought the characters were annoying and I simply didn’t care. Also very sad.

I find that I find Nicholas Sparks narrator style so interesting. Most books I read will have one POV per chapter, but when I started reading it, I had to get used to that but I find that I really enjoy it. This wasn't an exception, it really works to hear the work of so many characters. He also shows the other side of relationships reality I am not looking for in my Rom-Coms but already come to expect from him.
Even knowing what was gonna happen (cause spoil alert, I had seen the movie already), I was really invested in the book and learning about the characters and I am always trying to understand how the naming of the book too. Loved when the title made it into he book. No HEA but a great story about forbidden first love, everlasting love and tragedy.

This book really dragged on for me, almost became a DNF.
Then the last 15% of the book too much was going on. I had issues with the ending chapters. There was a 1/2 HEA, so not what I wanted, but I didn't write the book so its really not my choice.
This book just fell flat for me. Sorry.
