This is my second Nicholas Sparks book as an adult and I love his writing. I just love the stories that he comes up with and while not all of them are happy endings they depict very real and true stories that everyday people deal with in secret.

Bissl enttäuscht von Bestie Sparks. Protagonistin ist super unsympathisch und der Typ hat nen Mommy-Kink. Wenn ich noch einmal lesen muss, dass sie ne super Mutti für seine Kids wär, kotz ich. 
Plot war so vorhersehbar, dass selbst ich es hab kommen sehen. 
Also, can we please give women some friends? Nur eine einzige Bezugsperson, die nicht der Love interest ist? Bitte?
