I had no idea what to expect from the book other than a romance set in North Carolina USA 🇺🇸
I am glad I had a break between reading another Nicholas Sparks book.
Amanda and Dawson are teenage sweethearts, who are from completely different backgrounds. Amanda’s family want what’s best for her where as Dawson’s family are criminals. Amanda and Dawson are reunited 20 years later when a friend from their teen years passed away.
A whole life time has passed, when they’re reunited, and while their relationship/reunion is cute it’s one that is a bit boring.
As individuals I like them. I like how Dawson is and isn’t like his family. You can take him away from the mayhem of his family but still he has the family name. I find that he was a better person away from the small town and dare say it Amanda.
Amanda I find was really dull. I wished that she could be more honest with how she is feeling, towards Dawson, her husband, her mother and most of all her own feeling. I did feel bad when her son was critically ill.
The bit that got me the most (and brought the book up in my opinion) is Tuck’s letter. Tuck is the man who Dawson and Amanda were reunited because of. When Dawson left his family home as a teenager he ran away and lived in Tuck’s shed and helped with some car repairs.
I think it’s a cute book, but honestly it’s not really that great.
Best of me was a book I got back on my birthday this year (March 29th 2018) and the original price was $28 (Canadian) and it was half price at the goodwill store so I only paid $2 for it (normal pricing at the store is between $1.50 and $5)
