One of the good ones

Grabs you right away. Easy read. Not the usual romance book although obviously there is romance. You do not guess what's going to happen. Safe for teens to read. As a senior, senior who reads a lot, this was an enjoyable, good one. Keeps you interested right to the end. I found it hard to put down.

Read in 2 days

Finished in about two days the ending was insane

Hands down...absolute favorite!

This is the kind of book you'll want to read again and again...love Nicholas Sparks!

Romance Story With A Twist

Slow start

As I continued to read I found it hard to put down. A good read!

Another Perfect Book

Here in New Zealand we were lucky to have this book released on th 26th of Septemeber before the States release date. Another perfect book from Nicholas Sparks and is exactly what you come to expect from him. It truly is amazing how he is able to in each of his books capture the audience the way he does and this book is definatley no exception. You are drawn in with this story and makes you really think if there is such a thing as fate, luck, destiny and true love. I highly recommend this to any fan of Sparks and to anyone who wishes to become a fan. You will not be disapointed.
