Starring Michelle Monaghan, James Marsden, Luke Bracey, and Liana Liberator“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 … 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 the small town of Oriental, 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 to Oriental 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 two 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?

If you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks then you expect a love story entwined with unexpected and usually heartbreaking twists and turns. This novel not only delivers all of the above, Sparks went above and beyond all expectations. All of my emotions were on overload throughout the story but the ending made me cry like a baby. I fell in love with …
What an emotional roller coaster this book took me on. I’ve come to expect nothing less when it comes to Sparks’ stories. I have to say that until the fight in the bar, I did NOT see the ending coming at all. What tragedy, what hope, what love. I’ve heard the movie changed some things around, so I’m going to give it a good 6 months before I watch. …
I read the book and say the movie I loved it so much. It is a beautiful story of love and friendship.
Awesome book
Loved this book

I don’t normally like reading so I was really surprised that I loved this book so much

I love this book!! Highly recommend!!
This latest Sparks book does not disappoint. A must read for everyone!

It takes a really long time to build up the story.
As always, something to hold on to and a good lesson for all. A brilliant book.
This was a great book. I loved the story. Sad ending but inspirational.
5 Stars for “The Best of Me”
One of my favorite Nicholas Sparks reads! :
Sparks you really know how to make someone ugly cry I loved this book so much as always you cry happy and sad tears.
there is slight violence and assault in this book that could be a trigger
So the description of this book is amazing and because I love Nicholas Sparks I have never read any descriptions of his books, I put that there for your benefit. Nicholas Sparks in an author as soon as he brings out a book I will buy it, that man has my total trust so the day he lets me down I’ll be severely disappointed.
Anyway on with the book …
This was such a good book. It kept you looking in different directions. Sparks is such a good writer.
Love Nicholas Sparks!
