Bleh, it made the characters seem so shallow. If I had only one sentence to review this book with, it would be, "The last 85% really redeemed the book." (  ) filemanager | Nov 29, 2023 | I thought the characters were well written and felt like they could be real people. The situations and experiences they go through are relatable and allows the reader to picture themselves or someone they know in that situation. Like when Colby and Morgan meet one another at a hotel while they are on vacation or when Beverly is going through the motions of making sack lunches for him to take to school. I was confused about how the two story lines connected. I kept wondering how and why Colby and Morgan's story affected or had to do with Beverly and her son's story. Aside from the events happening at the same time I couldn't make a connection. My question was answered by the end of the book as events unfolded and explanations were given. A different approach to writing by Sparks. The story was well written and the characters were relatable, but it didn't grab ahold of me like his other novels have. ( ) wallace2012 | Nov 4, 2023 | This had potential. It did. Whether it be the young lovers story (which we know Nicholas Sparks does well) or the story of an abuse victim seeking a better life for her son, there was a tale worth reading. Even throw in the twist that But the book as a whole did not work. You cannot wait until the last 20 pages to make storylines connect. (Well, you can if the connections make as much sense as the importance of libraries in communities. So you know, obvious things). You do NOT need to put a Hallmark epilogue in....come on! Characters can come into lives for a reason, change.you for good, and yet you aren't destined to be together. Ugh. I think that's what disappointed me the most was the ending. It was as if Nicholas feels like all books need a Noah/Allie "The Notebook" twist and love story when no we don't. Give us a La La Land ending. And when your reader is fifty pages until the end asking...how do these stories fully connect? You haven't done a good job at foreshadowing. Not a recommend folks. Just....no Trigger warnings: attempted suicide  ) msgabbythelibrarian | Jun 11, 2023 |  ) mlhershey | Feb 1, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wish comes a poignant love story about risking everything for a dream—and whether it’s possible to leave the past behind. Colby Mills once felt destined for a musical career, until tragedy grounded his aspirations. Now the head of a small family farm in North Carolina, he spontaneously takes a gig playing at a bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, seeking a rare break from his duties at home. But when he meets Morgan Lee, his world is turned upside-down, making him wonder if the responsibilities he has shouldered need dictate his life forever. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known. While they are falling headlong in love, Beverly is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. Fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, she is trying to piece together a life for them in a small town far off the beaten track. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true. In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. And fate will draw all three people together in a web of life-altering connections . . . forcing each to wonder whether the dream of a better life can ever survive the weight of the past.
