In the fall 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 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 a funeral. Neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever changed their lives. Forced to confront painful memories, the two former lovers soon realize that everything they thought they knew-about themselves and the dreams they held dear-was not as it seemed. And in the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can love truly rewrite the past?
The Best of Me by Nicholas SparksMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I will admit, I like Nicholas Sparks books. They're easy to read. I will also admit that they all have the same type of characters and sometimes similar plot lines.
This book was very predictable. I found it slightly boring to read. I wasn't in love with this book. I was able to predict everything that happened before it happened. I don't like books like that. Yes, reading about the two main characters together was cute but honestly, he's written books with way more romantic plot lines.
I didn't like that this story was about a married woman wanting to cheat on her husband. I don't care how awful your husband or marriage is, cheating is not okay. Maybe I just feel that way because I'm married. I don't know.
I won't read this book again. It wasn't the best.
