Nicholas Sparks is one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. Published: January 5th 2000 by Grand Central Publishing Nevertheless, I will try one more and let you guys know how that one goes. I would say it was just okay, nothing out of the ordinary and I am now skeptical about reading more books by the author. Although I enjoyed listening to the audio book, it was rather too predictable for me. It was a quick read, well written and relatable but had no spark or surprises to it. This is a typical romance story about first love that stands the test of time. However, Allie is still engaged to one of the most eligible men in the state and is unsure if she should follow her heart or go ahead with her marriage. Noah is back in town after returning as a soldier at war in Europe and when Allie finds him, they both discover that much has not changed in the way they feel about each other. Fourteen years later, Allie is engaged to be married but something doesn’t sit right in her mind so she sets off on a journey back to the small town where Noah and herself fell in love. Noah and Allie meet and fall in love one summer as teenagers but Allie’s parents don’t think Noah is good enough for their daughter considering their financial and social status so they ensure that Allie cuts all ties with Noah after that time. This is a story about the power first love. After reading ‘A Walk To Remember’ by the author, I quickly jumped on this one because I really loved reading that book and suddenly had high expectations for this one.
