Have you read The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks yet?

Overview from Barnes & Noble:
"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 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?

Happy. Emotional. Love. Sadness.
This book was like a roller coaster, but so worth it in the end.
The ending is a little predictable.
I wish I could tell you what all happens, but then I'd ruin it for you.
So, go read it! Buy it, borrow it, check it out at the library! Just read it!
If this one doesn't become a movie, it will surprise the heck outta me!

I liked this book a lot. Not my favorite by Nicholas Sparks but still a good read. Two Thumbs up from me too!
Glad you liked!!!! I am ready for the Lucky One movie!!!
One of the best books by Nicholas Sparks by far. The tale of two people, long lost, but now reunited by a tragic event is heartwarming. Predictable endings are a Nicholas Sparks special, but he makes up for that by giving you an emotional roller coaster through the whole book. I think that's what makes him a great author. By the way, I've met him in Miami some time ago, he is such a good guy, and not a snob. He even told me some of the tricks of the trade I plan on using in my own love stories.
