Enjoyed it! Nice summer read.

Nice Summer read. The book is much better than the movie. Watch the movie first, otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

Lucky in Love

The story was great. It held my interest all the way to the end. If I could change one thing it would be the narrator. His voice didn't seem to fit the story. I wish he would had a bit more separation for different characters. They all sounded very similar.

One More Great Book.

Story, very good.
The storyteller was good but the voice of Beth was not real good. Instead of sounding like a young woman with something going on she sounds like my late aunt telling me how to make banana bread. Just sayin.

love Nicholas Sparks books

I can always count on Nicholas Sparks to sweep me away in his books to the setting, making it feel as if I am a fly on the wall listening in on everything going on.

Always different and yet similar stories of love

Nicholas Sparks stories are a true pleasure to read or listen to. Though his characters are different in occupation and life history the hero and heroine are always pure of heart and have the reader cheering for them.
sure it may be a different plot and the same story each time but that's what Nicholas Sparks readers want. And I am one of them
