Nicholas Sparks

A high school rebel and a minister's daughter find strength in each other in this star-crossed tale of "young but everlasting love" (Chicago Sun-Times).There was a time when the world was sweeter....when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats.... Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he thought he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister....Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart-and the joy and pain of living. The inspiration for this novel came from Nicholas Sparks's sister: her life and her courage. From the internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, comes his most moving story yet....

"Love this book, I read the novel first before seeing the movie. The sweetness and yet it has a very sad ending."

" I watched the movie YEARS ago long enough that the only thing I remember about it is the ending. But it stuck with me all of these years. At some point, I put the novel on my TBR and recently decided it was the perfect time to read it. It was cliche and Landon is intolerable for the first 70 pages, but it is a truly emotional novel, and the ending got me. Usually, a heavy use of religion doesn't do it for me, seeing as I'm an atheist. This book can get away with it though, I never felt annoyed about it. The last 30 pages of this novel are rough, it has a "happy" ending but it's still a devastating book at heart. Not my normal type of tea, but it did what it was supposed to do. I think this is one of the books that bridges people who don't read the genre to avid tragedy lovers. That's a beautiful thing when it comes to any novel. I highly recommend the movie and the book."
