My first Nicholas sparks book. Wanted to read something that I haven’t seen in movie form. Pretty predictable for the most part. I enjoyed the story line and ate it up pretty quick. Didn’t blow my mind or anything but it was cute. Definitely will read more of his stuff.
Another amazing story by Nicholas Sparks. It never fails, I cried! Again!
Now I'm not normally a crier. But this book brought me to tears in both the first and last chapters. Amazing read!
Volbu od stejného autora to sice nepředčilo, ale je to stejně naprosto skvělá kniha. Plná lásky, přátelství, ale i minulosti, která člověka dokáže ničit.
S touto knihou jsem si uvědomila, že Nicholase Sparkse chci číst mnohem víc. Poslední píseň, Volba a teď Útěk do samoty mi prostě nestačí.
Docela mě mrzí, že hodně lidí vidí tohoto autora jen jako část červené knihovny. Ve všech jeho knihách je mnohem víc. Věřte mi. ❤

It has been a while since I've read a book by Nicholas Sparks and I have no idea why.
However, I'm so happy that I dived back into his books due to this read-a-thon I joined recently. WHY? Because I just love to read and I love to read really good books. I mean, who doesn't?
The Rescue was so freaking good. It has such a good opening line that basically sucks you instantaneously. Now this book is about Taylor McAden and Denise Holden - and boy do I love these two people so freaking much. Taylor is a volunteer firefighter (HELLO GORGEOUS!) and he takes the biggest leap of his life: falling in love.
Did you heart just pitter patter like mine? Of course it did.
Besides Taylor, there's Denise who is a single mom who coincidentally doesn't have time for love in her life. Like at all. She's way too busy looking after her son, Kyle. However, fate has decided other things for their lives because the two meet after a terrible storm hits their town. Taylor freaking saves Denise after she was in a car accident. Waking up to his beautiful eyes. Ugh, I was jealous.
I loved everything about these two humans, and I can't forget Kyle because I just adored him as well. However, I shipped the heck out of Taylor and Denise and I will continue throughout the rest of my life. Until my dying day. Seriously, I will.
Overall, I loved this book so much that I can't wait to dive into my next sparks book.

I was surprised by how much I liked this book because sometimes I find sparks to be cheesy.. this book however was fantastic. it had great pacing with an interesting story line developed from multiple angles. it was heart wrenching at moments and actually made me tear up.
Second book by Sparks I've read and hated. I would give it 1 star for the eye rolling, shallow writing, but I'm a sucker for romance. His books make good movies because the love is there (the obvious ups and downs of new relationships, the butterflies, the heartache) and Sparks always throws in tearful drama; they make good movies because his terrible writing is redone for the screenplay. It's as if Sparks reads a news article or gets a fragment of an idea (in this case a boy with speech delays and a man still hurting over his father's death) and then, without any depth of understanding, just runs with it for 300 page--the result is very shallow writing. Cheesy, cliched, and just incredibly overdone dialogue. Background stories are chunky instead of fluid throughout the text (not so in the movies because the character comes to life throughout the screenplay). Also, maybe characters' internal reflections just play out better through body language than the written word. Easy read--yes. Will I remember it a couple months from now? Nope.
