Jamie had taught him so much. In the end, he makes a breathtaking choice that would lead him to see life in a different way.

My rating

This book had plot twists like no other! Nicholas Sparks really knows how to get those tears running! I will say, though, the start of the book seemed very boring and mundane to me, causing me to put off this book for a while. If you are planning to read this book, know that it starts off a bit bland by gets exciting and teary and the end. All in all, I give this book a 4.5 Stars!

There is a movie based on the book made in 2002 called, 'A Walk to Remember.' The trailer to the movie is below. The link to buy this book on Amazon is also below. Check out Nicholas Sparks' website, https://nicholassparks.com/ Hopefully this post sparked some interest to read this book!
