This is definitely your typical Nicholas Sparks book, quite predictable, quick & easy read, heartbreak, new love that is then torn apart in some way, only to tie up nicely with a bow at the end. Not bad in any way, but nothing exciting or new either

Good book with romance and a little mystery. I always enjoy Nicholas Sparks books.

Wow! What a great book! I'm not sure I could overcome what Miles had to overcome!

I read this book twice by accident, but a Nicholas Sparks book is always a Nicholas Sparks book, and a pleasure to read over and over again. I give it a 4-star rating only because Nights in Rodanthe, See Me and The Notebook spoiled it for me. The mastery with which Sparks draws readers into the story, making them feel the characters' emotions as their own makes up for the slow pace and unremarkable happy ending.
