If you can power through the first 150 pages, that are slow and uneventful, the rest is actually enjoyable! Some of the writing and descriptors lean so hard into the norm it's cringey. On the other hand the internal dialogue and struggle various characters think through is interesting, especially towards the end.

probably my favorite nicholas sparks story, i love it so much.
first time reading it through instead of watching the movie and im really shocked at how different it was. I feel like Alex’s character is completely different in the book with getting an actual background and depth to him.
also seeing kevins inner thoughts was extremely disturbing so look at trigger warnings and read at your own risk
