I am a sucker for a good Nicholas Sparks read and this one was fantastic. Friends to lovers to enemies back to lovers. Just so good!

One of my new favorites by Sparks!! Really good read...

Cute Nicholas Sparks book as usual. A little unexpected at times, but generally follows the normal pace of a Nicholas Sparks book. I enjoyed reading it.

I'm normally a Nicholas Sparks fan, but this one just didn't do it for me. There were themes that felt similar to other books of his (kid with Autism, waitress, love story but with some drama), but the whole thing felt like a pre-write for some of his more popular novels. That said, I did still read it in full, so I guess that there were somethings keeping me dialed in.

Love this book, I just lent it to my friend to read because i think it is a good one for non-nicholas sparks readers to read and then get into some of his other books!! Love how Denise and Kyle's relationship becomes strong thanks to Taylor coming into their lives !!
emotional hopeful sad

This was fine. I liked the overall story of Taylor’s father, but the romance didn’t do much for me.
