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.
