I knew going into this read that I’m a Nicholas Sparks fanatic and would probably love it, I was so glad it met my expectations!
I have never been to America or more specifically Georgia, yet the world building and scenery described made me feel like I was transported! By the end of the book I felt as though I understood each character as if I was another resident of New Bern.
Not to mention the ending was great, one of my pet peeves is when I’m obsessed with a story just to be disappointed by how the story ends or by having un answered questions. I was happy with where the story ended and very pleased to be able to give this book five stars.
