Nicholas Sparks is one of those authors I don't seek out but always enjoy when I read him. I raced through this book, reading 90% of it in one sitting then I HAD to get some sleep.
A bit of a twist on the "what could have been", second chance love story, and a few surprises along the way.
Likeable characters who both seem to struggle with where they find themselves, more than 20 years after their family situations tore their relationship apart.
Without giving something away, the ending felt right. Minor paranormal/psychic mentions which would normally put me off right away but they are easily ignored and fit with the ultimate narrative of Tuck's storyline too
