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!

I knew going into this read that I’m a Nicholas Sparks fanatic and would probably love it, I was so glad it met my expectations!
I have never been to America or more specifically Georgia, yet the world building and scenery described made me feel like I was transported! By the end of the book I felt as though I understood each character as if I was another resident of New Bern.
Not to mention the ending was great, one of my pet peeves is when I’m obsessed with a story just to be disappointed by how the story ends or by having un answered questions. I was happy with where the story ended and very pleased to be able to give this book five stars.
