„I told myself that I couldn't have fallen in love, that real love required time and a multitude of shared experiences.“
Liebe auf den ersten Blick vs. Familiendrama. Das enthält zwar ein paar Wiederholungen, ist aber ein typischer Sparks-Page-turner.

Truly, the man cannot miss. Absolute banger. Loved it.

I'm giving it 5 very hesitantly. I think it's more like a 4.5, but obviously, without half stars, I felt it needed more than a 4, so it got 5.
This story is very complex, not like your usual Nicholas sparks feel good romance novel. It feels like half of it is through rose colored glasses (like no one falls completely in love with someone in a week), and the other half feels a lot more raw and real.
I was nervous for the ending because most of his novels that I have read recently haven't ended in a way that gave me any closure. But this one did. I got closure and I am satisfied with the result and that's what tipped this up from a 4 to a 5.

I will say the last Nicholas Sparks book I read, I decided I wasn’t into Nicholas Sparks stories anymore. However, this one was very different than the typical romance, cliche stories I have read in the past. There was a double timeline happening as you read and I was so unsure how they were going to tie together and when they did, I was so taken back! One story filled with drama, fear, suspense and the other the typical romance, fairytale, “Dreamland.”

Colby's love story/perspective just felt very cheesy and typical of those love-at-first-sight movies. Beverly's story was more compelling to me, however, the ending felt like a cop out. The twist was okay, but it just wasn't a great conclusion to tie the two parallel plots together.
