You love Nicholas Sparks, you'll love this story. That's the bottom line. Yes, it's a tale that's been told before, two teenagers from opposite sides of the track fall in love, part ways, and reunite. And yes, the ending may seem a little tacked on and forced. But he's masterful with the details and storytelling...though a bit cheesy and inclined toward the use of cliches, which all writers know is taboo! Still, there's something satisfying about listening to imaginary lives that someone has fashioned and formed so well that they're real.

I recommend it!
