In this #1 New York Times bestselling novel of first love and second chances, former high school sweethearts confront the painful truths of their past to build a promising future--together."Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She'd believed in it once, too, back when she was eighteen." In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in their small town in North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths. Now, twenty-five years later, Amanda and Dawson are summoned back home for the funeral of Tuck Hostetler, the mentor who once gave shelter to their high school romance. Neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever changed their lives. As Amanda and Dawson carry out the instructions Tuck left behind for them, they realize that everything they thought they knew--about Tuck, about themselves, and about the dreams they held dear--was not as it seemed. Forced to confront painful memories, the former lovers will discover undeniable truths about the choices they have made. And in the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can love truly rewrite the past?
I enjoyed the basic story line and the ending. I didn't like the violent parts regarding one of the main charactor's cousins or the ghost that shows up periodically.
Loved it

I’m a huge Nicholas Sparks fan and this one was definitely one of my favorites. I’m also a big fan of movies too and i love both the book and movie. Nicholas Sparks is an author that really does have a reader captivated with the story and make them feel like they are really there, experiencing the same things as the characters and feeling the same things as well. This book made me feel so many emotions and i just loved everything about it. Definitely a must read.
