I didn’t read what the book was about ahead of time. I’m just a fan of Nicholas Sparks in general and don’t typically read the synopsis.
With that - the “twist” was figured out relatively quickly. While I’m not used to reading stories about young love anymore, I still find it so sweet and made me think of a decade ago when I was still a teenager.
Despite figuring out what was going to happen so quickly, it did NOT prevent the crazy amount of tears shed, I’m currently *that mom* in the school line.
Not my favorite story, but it was beautiful.

While I knew the outcome and guessed the twist in the beginning of the book; I still really enjoyed this story. Why do I cry with every Nicholas Sparks story?

my heart was NOT ready this book. My goodness… the attachment I grew towards almost every character is something that I haven’t experienced in a book in a long time. Closing the book felt like I’d lost loved ones. This book is powerful and beautiful. I wish I could read it again for the first time!

This book started off really SLOW. I mean SLOW, but the over all ending was really sad. Many say it was a tear jerkier but I didn’t find them emotions in this book. Maggie was a sweet heart. But wait I wrote this before the END! My heart is smiling! MARK!! MARK!! MARK!! You were the best part of the story!!
