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....

Good, but not Great

Haley C. - 5 years ago

This book began with what felt like a massive exposition dump, though I’m unsure if this is simply because of the informal, conversational tone of the writing or if it’s just something Sparks decided to do. I enjoyed the novel, but now that I’ve finished it, I don’t remember much dialogue. It’s almost like the entire thing is the narrator, Landon, talking directly to me. Normally, I’m not a fan of that style, especially with the lack of dialogue, but this was a good book. I did not cry as I have many times while I watch the film, and I think I actually prefer the film. If Sparks’ other books have the same tone, I don’t think I’ll be reading them. However, I will say that he did a wonderful job of foreshadowing Jamie’s story. #SpringPicks
