Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed reading this book. It was definitely a page turner but I didn't get too emotional while reading it. The main character, Miles, kind of got on my nerves.

I read this book when I was in 8th grade i believe. This is the book that impacted me to keep reading Nicholas Sparks at the time. Not anymore for reason BUT i tell you this why it get 4. I just didnt expect the how the revelations of the past. And how it ended. At the time it was good but years later I just cant understand why it ended how it ended.

Nicholas sparks never disappoints, never fails to capture my attention as I read his books. I can't put them down til I finish. An amazing read.
