Dawson and Amanda, Tuck and Clara, loves won and lost over time and space. The flower garden at the Cottage expresses in riotous color the true love of these four, but the hatred and envy of the Coles darkens and blights everything.
This novel had too much going on, but I still read to the end. A lot that was written didn't add value to this story and I waited for what was promised and it didn't happen.

This book brought me to tears. A beautiful, bittersweet love story. One I’ll reread.
3.5/5, rounded down to 3 because i really disliked the ending. #dawsoncoledeservedbetter2k16
This was the fourth Sparks novel I read and for the first time I felt some tension, especially with Dawson's neckbeard dumbass cousins and the mysterious figure he kept seeing. That's why I really rushed through this book - until about 30 pages before the end. At that point I realised where the story is heading and lost quite a bit of motivation to finish (I did though nevertheless, but wasn't that enthusiastic about the book anymore).

Dawson was the character I liked best and I don't really care that Amanda kind of ends up with a happy family again. Should have left that drunken ass husband ages ago. I wanted Amanda and Dawson to grow old in that cottage together. Meh.

I wanted to read this book prior to the film which is coming out on October the 18th. Cause I have the experience to dislike the books once i've seen the film first and then read the book. And I do think I'm glad I read the book first cause it tells a good story with a unpredictable end. In the last few chapters it had me pretty curious on how it should end. So I had to finish reading this tonight. I'm looking even more forward to the movie now to see if they stayed close to the book.
Overall I really recommend you to read this book!
