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

Easy read and enjoyable. Some flat characters without much characterization. Liked Katie/Erin. Wished the ending was a little different and focused on couple.
