Although technically an adult novel, I though this would have great cross-over appeal. I love the film adaptations of Nicholas Sparks' novels (The Notebook being my all time favourite!) so I had to read one. I love his writing style - I have a tendency to read mostly female authors so this was a pleasant change that didn't disappoint. The story is set in the late 1950's and you really get a sense of that time period, which adds depth to both the story and the characters. I found myself very invested in them and their story - both characters being very likeable and well developed. I don't want to give too much away except to say you might need to have tissues on hand! I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more novels by the author.

I haven't seen this version of the cover before. I really love this book though, it's one of my favourites..
I loved the film (sniffle) but haven't read the book yet. I agree with you about The Notebook - that film is amazing. I thought the book was okay too!
This one of my favourite of his books. Glad you enjoyed it!
