4 stars. This is still my favorite Nicholas Sparks book and the film is my favorite of his adaptations. Yes, I like this story more than The Notebook feel free to @ me.

I read this book originally when I was in Junior High and I remember bawling my eyes out and surprise surprise I bawled my eyes out all over again 15 or so years later. I will say that I definitely think the movie is better as the characters are a lot more fleshed out and the romance makes me swoon every single time but that’s just me. It doesn't take away from the romance in the novel because it still is really well done. Landon and Jamie’s romance is just so beautiful and heartbreaking and timeless and I love the way that Sparks wrote it. It’s simple and yet so engrossing. It’s a quick read but it packs such an emotional punch that just hits me so hard. I’m glad that I’ve finally gotten around to re-reading this, it was definitely worth it.
