A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks

A Walk To Remember

by Nicholas Sparks

Can you resist the depths of the human heart?

It is 1958 and seventeen-year-old Landon is revelling in his youth: dating girls and even claiming to have been in love. He is a world apart from shy, reclusive Jamie Sullivan, a Baptist's daughter who carries a bible with her school books, cares for her widowed father and volunteers at the orphanage. But fate will intervene.

Forced to partner up at the school dance, Landon and Jamie embark on a journey of earth-shattering love and agonising loss far beyond their years. In the months that follow, Landon discovers the true depths of the human heart, and takes a decision that is so stunning it will lead him irrevocably down the road to manhood . . .

Going into this book, I knew what to expect. I remember when the movie came out starting Mandy Moore. I never saw the movie or read the book....until now.

I picked up this book a few months ago and finally got arpund to reading it. I'll admit, the first chapter was sooo long and super slow. I almost dnf'ed it, but my husband suggested I give it a chance. I'm so glad I did!

Once the character and town building were out of the way, I couldn't put this down! Landon's character and story telling had me hooked. I laughed, I cried, I got mad. The feels, y'all, were there.

I saw the ending coming, but it was beautifully done.

I would reccomened this Nicholas Sparks to anyone that's willing to listen to me ;)
