Publisher's summary

After thirty years of marriage, Wilson Lewis, son-in-law of Allie and Noah Calhoun (of The Notebook), is forced to admit that the romance has gone out of his marriage. Desperate to win back his wife, Jane's, heart, he must figure out how to make her fall in love with him... again.

Despite the shining example of Allie and Noah's marriage, Wilson is himself a man unable to easily express his emotions. A successful estate attorney, he has provided well for his family, but now, with his daughter's upcoming wedding, he is forced to face the fact that he and Jane have grown apart and he wonders if she even loves him anymore. Wilson is sure of one thing - his love for his wife has only deepened and intensified over the years. Now, with the memories of his in-laws' magnificent fifty-year love affair as his guide, Wilson struggles to find his way back into the heart of the woman he adores.

Beautiful

Beauitful book. I've heard and read this book at least 10 times. After being married myself for over 20 years it brings me comfort and hope. Too many times life gets busy and we forget to do the most basic of things for our spouses that we do for strangers. This is a great reminder to stop and really look at your spouse and let them know how much they mean to you.

Happily ever after

These book was NS special. He never disappoints. I enjoyed this very much. It showed how marriage can be taken for granted all too often and all too fast. Wilson messed up big time and his marriage wasn't important to him. He never did terrible things and but taking one's partner for granted is painful and sad. Love your spouse.

I loved it! I shared the emotions with the Characters. Loved Noah being a part of the story and Allie’s presents was felt - it was a sweet moving story of love, mistakes, forgiveness and trying. I will read /listen again! Soon

love Nicholas Sparks

Another good story from Nicholas Sparks. I Loved the Characters it was like old home week . I also loved that the narrator did not try to make his voice sound like a lady when he had to read female parts.

So Beautifully Romantic

I could relate to the feeling of distance, apathy and disappointment this couple experiences.
Any married twosome will understand the ebbing emotions & insecurities of a long-lived marriage.

However, with a little kindness, a bit of tenderness and a lot of re-evaluation can help restore the “newlywed passion” of yesteryear. There truly can be fairy tale endings if there is enough love.

perfection...

I so loved this book, my husband of 43 years who passed in 2018... we had the tides of life; the highs and lows. This book helped more of the healing and "regrets" to be seen as how life is, for all of us! The tears were those of joy unappreciated in the bustle, and struggles of raising children, financial juggling, and... just life.
Thank you

The Wedding…Great Book!

Nicholas Sparks never disappoints! Wonderful heartfelt book! I definitely recommend! A continuation of the Note Book. A gentle reminder of how sweet love is and should be.
