Landing on three stars for this because if you're here for a heartbreaking father/daughter story that will have you crying uncontrollably- it's fantastic. But when it comes to the romance, it falls short. I'll admit I'm a little biased because I grew up watching, loving, and crying over this movie. The romance is less believable and insta-lovey in the book which should be the complete opposite, there should be way more development and emotion. Ronnie and Will interact a few times and are in love with each other after a few days. Then jump to the end of summer when all of the sad stuff starts happening. With the romance being the main plot point for over half the book I really just can't justify rating this any higher.
Props to Sparks though, because I haven't cried this hard since I read TFiOS.

I really loved this book even if I cried for the last 100 pages. It’s very reflective in that it shows why you need to live in the moment. This book felt very personal to me and I really enjoyed it.

This is Nicholas Sparks. We know what he will write, and he delivers. Of course there are parts that are predictable. Of course there are characters with emotional challenges and conflict. The magic of the story comes from the delivery and the characters to whom it is so easy to related. This delightful tales is gift wrapped and delivered with a bow. You will cry. You will experience joy. You will have hope. Just wonderful
