Got to be my least favorite Nicholas Sparks book, and I'm not sure why. The writing and pacingwere good, and I liked Thersea. Garrett came off as desperate, but I think that was sort of the point. Maybe it was the resemblance to Suzanne's Letters to Nicholas by James Patterson. I don't like reading books I felt like I've read before, something that sometimes happens when it comes to romance. Or maybe it was the letters, the letters that were supposed to be the point of the story but that I just found too cheesy. Either way, this was just a miss for me. Not recommended!
