Summary
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Notebook and A Walk to Remember, an emotionally poignant novel about the enduring legacy of first love–and the decisions that haunt us forever.
 
Sent away at sixteen, Maggie Dawes could think only of the friends and family she left behind . . . until she met Bryce Trickett. Bryce showed her how much there was to love about the wind-swept beach town and introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the rest of her life.

By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. Unexpectedly grounded over Christmas and struggling to come to terms with a medical diagnosis, she finds herself becoming dependent on her young assistant.

As they count down the last days of the season together, she tells him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier—and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.

This was my first Nicholas Sparks book, so I wasn’t prepared to have my heart shattered. But I was fully invested, as the storyline was very well written.

Profile Avatar Jerrica Dec 2024

I just couldn't get into this one. Not sure if it was the book or narrator.

Profile Avatar Hajnalka S. Oct 2022

Loved it was very captivating, great narrator as well

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2022

The story line was predicable but very touching at the same time. One thing I hated was the constant reference to fat and weight gain and fat shame. This novel was extremely fat phobic and it really took away from the enjoyment factor. It’s really too bad that it was mentioned so often.

Profile Avatar Teri M. Sep 2022

Love it! For so many different reasons. Highly recommend this book

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

Profile Avatar Lynn B. Aug 2022

I couldn’t put this book down. The captivating journey of a ordinary life with love and loss that will pull at everyone of your emotions. The narration was fantastic in which only pulls you deeper into the journey.

Profile Avatar Jamie Aug 2022

What a wonderful story. I was done with this book in 3 days. Couldn’t put it down.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2022

If you need a good ugly cry this is the book. As heartbreaking as this book is it has a lot of redeeming qualities. As always beautifully written. Theme- true love is eternal, never waivers and can be a legacy for the next generations. In true Sparks style- family struggles is the core of this book.

Profile Avatar Lostinbooks Aug 2022

Yet again, Mr. Sparks brought me to tears. Such a fantastic story teller and very well narrated. A must read for sure!

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2022

I love Nicholas Sparks, the best author in my opinion. This book hit close to home for me.

Profile Avatar Wanda H. Apr 2022

Emotional story! Kept the pages turning! Seemed realistic for the most part!

Profile Avatar Britten E. Apr 2022

Cute story. A bit predictable towards the end. I find the narrator hard to listen to. She sounds like an older woman pretending to speak in a baby voice. No other complaints.

Profile Avatar Brittany B. Mar 2022

A pretty decent listen. The ending had a twist I didn’t see coming!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2022

Awesome book! Nicholas, as usual, leaves me crying, at the end.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2022

One of Sparks best stories yet.

Profile Avatar Nichole M. Feb 2022

Beautiful story, heartbreaking but leaves you speechless!

Profile Avatar Carolynne K. Feb 2022

I LOVED this book. At the beginning when Nicholas Sparks says it might be his best book ever. I thought oh my, that is huge… such a wonderful book. I might have to agree Mr Sparks

Profile Avatar Alison R. Feb 2022

We’ll written but incredibly sad.

Profile Avatar Patricia Drewnowska Feb 2022

really great book but made me cry a lot

Profile Avatar Bonnie Feb 2022

One of the best audio book’s I’ve ever listened to! It is definitely a tear jerker and I don’t cry easily

Great story! Loved the entire book!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2022

It was promised as a tear jerker and came through. I don’t normally listen to these kinds of books but I absolutely couldn’t stop listening to it!!!

Profile Avatar Janet G. Dec 2021

Not a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. I might not have chosen this book had it not been set near where I live. I’m so glad I did choose it! While I thought he got a little preachy in parts, overall I loved the story and the characters. Keep a box of tissues close by! The narrators fit the characters perfectly.

Profile Avatar Patty Nov 2021

Loved this book

Profile Avatar Pam M. Nov 2021

My husband and I listened in the car and we both enjoyed it very much. I really likes the voices and the characters were very realistic

Profile Avatar Connie S. Nov 2021

I loved this sweet, heartbreaking love story. I fell in love with Maggie’s son Mark. Will’s voice was perfect for this character.

Profile Avatar Nancy K. Nov 2021

I really enjoyed this sweet & beautiful story. The narration was so good that I could really visualize these wonderful characters. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is because I found the story to be a too predictable. I prefer more of a twist & I was able to predict the ending. But all in all, I totally enjoyed listening to this story & I fell in love with the characters.

Profile Avatar KristenLeigh Nov 2021

It was a good book, always love Nicholas Sparks. I figured out the plot twists (and I’m not one to usually do that) so it was a little bland for me. Great narration though!

Profile Avatar JoAnne D. Oct 2021

Felt like I was a part of the journey.. emotionally charged.. laughter and tears..Narration was fantastic!!!

Profile Avatar Karen H. Oct 2021

I started to listen to this book and felt disappointed. I couldn’t identify with the narrators and wondered why we were taken back and forth to the present character(Maggie) and her teenage self. Patience is a virtue! I continued to listen and soon felt a part of this sad, yet beautiful story. I loved this book and I just finished listening to it, I already miss the characters. Beautiful story.

Profile Avatar Glynette S. Oct 2021

Beautiful story, lots of tears.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2021

This book is beautifully written and narrated wonderfully. Listening covers all emotions. Moments where I smiled, moments when I was sad, moments where I had to continue listening, moments where I teared up, moments where I was surprised. One of the best ones by far..

Profile Avatar Shyree R. Oct 2021

This book was a great book!! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it
