That being said, I couldn't wait to get back into the past as opposed to the present view. Also, I called that ending but it still left me super happy even if it was bittersweet. Rating: 3.5/5 Stars Content:  ) libraryofemma | Apr 18, 2024 | ) BethQuerrey | Dec 7, 2023 | I didn't personally relate to the characters but I thought their story was beautiful and well written. I listened to the audiobook and with about 20 minutes left in the story I still hadn't yet cried. But, that last 5-10 minutes hit me and had me crying while on my lunch break at work. ( ) wallace2012 | Nov 4, 2023 | In one sense, I wish Bryce and Maggie had had a happier ending--though if they had, I doubt Maggie's life would have been what it was at the time of this book. It was nice to see a character who's an accomplished single woman. ( ) JenniferRobb | Oct 13, 2023 | no reviews | add a review
"1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent away at sixteen to live with an aunt she barely knew in Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina's Outer Banks, she could think only of the friends and family she left behind . . . until she meets Bryce Trickett, one of the few teenagers on the island. Handsome, genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce gradually shows her how much there is to love about the wind-swept beach town-and introduces her to photography, a passion that will define the rest of her life. By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. She splits her time between running a successful gallery in New York and photographing remote locations around the world. But this year she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas, struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis. Increasingly dependent on a young assistant, she finds herself becoming close to him. As they count down the last days of the season together, she begins to tell him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier-and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined"-- No library descriptions found. |

The ending and the reveal was classic Nicholas Sparks.
The only downside was the book dragged a little in the middle. But overall an enjoyable book. (
