Finally! The return of Nicholas Sparks! I so used to love his work, rushing right to the book store to purchase each new novel on its release date, but over the years the books became so simple and formulaic that I stopped even caring they were coming out. Something told me to pick up this new one though, and I am so glad I did. His incredible story-telling and beautifully written characters are back on display. The end was very predictable, but even knowing how it would end, I couldn’t put it down, thirsting for each new page.

I haven’t read Nicholas Sparks in probably a decade. This was OG Nicholas Sparks…a beautiful love story mixed with tears! It’s a beautiful story of the power of young love (and the love between an aunt and her niece).

An enjoyable read, but the "reveal" at the end of the book was obvious very early on. Didn't take away from enoying the story though.
As always, very good writing and a great story. But this one was depressing all the way through.

As with all Nicholas Sparks books, there's love and romance, but also heartbreak. I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, but in the end I loved it and hope they make a movie out of it someday!

This book made me bawl at 2am in the morning, did i finish the book or did the book finish me? I haven’t stopped crying since i last finished it. The story was so heartbreaking but i loved it, it was a beautiful portrayal of love and grief.
