Nicholas Sparks novels are pretty similar once you've read a couple of them. He enjoys showing the reader the points of view of the different characters.Sparks does a great job at his though, specially the way it is written. It varies with each person and if helps the reader know who's mind one is in.
This story is aboud two adults who were teen star-crossed lovers that meet again. It did remind a little bit about Romeo and Juliet because of the influence of the girl's family. The descriptions are wonderful and Sparks foreshadows very well the upcomming events.
It teaches us how important our decisions are in our lifes and in the lifes of others, specially of the ones we love the most.
Definetly a must, but have a some tissues nearby (specially for the las 50 pages).
I thought that this book was going to be like all his other books and follow the same plot, but it didn't. When you think you have everything figured out, there's another twist that comes afterward. The ending was sooo sad, it made me cry. I highly recommend this book.
