I just love Nicholas Sparks writing. I really enjoyed this read and came with some unexpected endings in multiple ways. The whole time I was trying to piece together what/who was going on and how it all fit. It was a fantastic read!

This jumped to a top spot in my favorite Nicholas Sparks books. At first I was so confused as to who Beverly was and why we were getting her story. I thought this was going to be similar to “The Longest Ride” where the two separate stories are told but come together beautifully towards the end. This was not that kind of story!
My jaw is still on the floor! With Nicholas Sparks.. I feel like you pretty much know what you’re in for when you sign up to read one of his books. This one has me shocked! Like was not expecting the twist! I assumed that the the two different points of view (Colby & Beverly) were connected somehow.. maybe related.. or somehow like Ira and Luke (The Longest Ride) but was not expecting them to connect like they did! I had some guesses along the way but was not fully correct in guessing.. and I’m glad. I love the way the story unfolded and I would reread for sure!

I found it difficult to connect with the characters and found the romance between Colby and Morgan bland. I enjoyed the early Beverly chapters a bit more than the Colby ones. The ending was something you could easily see coming.

Nicholas Sparks is known for his sweet romances and this book is no exception. It has wonderful characters, ones you can fall in love with and root for. Characters that put everything in front of themselves. I absolutely loved this book. I lost myself in this book and did not want to stop reading. Excellent book!!!
