I loved everything about this story except the insta-love. Had it not had that it would have been 4 1/2-5 stars.

Movie is my comfort and roman empire, and that's why I started the book. I was suprised that movie didn't follow the book, but movie was far more enjoyable in my opinion.
I was scared that the story wouldn't be developed enough just because of the lenght of the book, and my fears came true. 
Story was in my opinion rushed, and that's a shame.

My first Nicholas Sparks. A great story about finding love after you thought there was no more chance of finding it. Inspired to read it quickly after seeing the preview for the movie. Not quite the tear jerker like I’ve heard Sparks to be, but still a wonderful love story that leaves you happy and satisfied.
