This was one of those books that I kept seeing everywhere. So figured it was time to actually read it.
I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the hype in my head, I'm so glad I was wrong. A couple of the plot twists took me by surprise and I definitely didn't see the end coming. So I really really enjoyed it. Definitely one of those books I think everyone would enjoy

I was curious to read this after watching the Netflix series. Something about the book just doesn't sit right. It's first hand, so obviously a little biased. However, its riddled with speculations, theories and seems more like a venting journal entry than something worth publishing. I didn't like Rachel from the start and unfortunately my opinion didn't change

The first Nicholas Sparks novel I read was The Notebook, which unfortunately dissapointed me, I was expecting it to be more impressive and to leave a more lasting impression on me which it failed to do so.

I did however decide to try another Sparks novel before casting him as an author I disliked, initially I wasn't too sure I would like this novel, but it definitely interested me more, the furthur I read, I found myself wanting to read more and more, and wondering how it would end up.

I found that it was easier to believe in the love shared between John and Savannah, it seemed more legitimate and real. I read the last 100 pages or so without putting the book down, and even though the ending wasn't what I initially wanted, I found that it fit the story, it satisfied me.

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone unsure of their feelings for Sparks novels, or anyone who likes a good romance story.
