Another great love story from Nicholas Sparks! Logan Thibault is a very determined character as he searches for a girl in a picture that he found in Kuwait who he believes is his good luck charm. Great story of fate and destiny. I read it in one sitting! ( )

Logan Thibault, veteran of multiple tours of Iraq, decides to walk half-way around the country to find a woman he's never met but whose photo he believes brought him luck and kept him alive. When he finds "E", she is a busy single mother attempting to deal with the manipulations of her shallow but well-connected ex-husband. Together they decide to deal with the obstacles and build a life together. As with all Sparks books, tragedy does come to the happy couple and it's this "twist" that left the book feeling bland and formulaic. Not Sparks' best. ( )

Have you ever held on to something simply because you thought it brought you good luck?

Logan Thibault was a marine in Iraq when he found a picture of a young woman wearing a T-shirt with the slogan Lucky Lady across her chest. He tried to find who it belong to, but when no one claimed it, he put it in his pocket. His luck began to change. He survived 3 tours in Iraq before he went home. His buddy from the marines felt that the picture had kept Logan safe and when his buddy was killed in a fishing accident in the boat right next to him, Logan began to think that he needed to find the girl.

Logan left his home in Colorado and starting walking… ending up in Hampton, NC. Along with his dog, Zeus, Logan not only found the girl, the reason that he was meant to find her.

I've read nearly all of Nicholas Sparks' books. I liked the idea of this one, but the beginning was slow and sometimes it was too wordy. I liked it, but not as well as some of his others. ( )

This was the 1st Nicholas Sparks book I read (love stories are usually NOT my thing) but since movies have been made from his stories, I thought I'd give this book a try. Very nicely done! First, his style is easy to read and his story didn't drag on forever with useless details. Next, I was very impressed that his story included a veteran dealing with the horrors of war and another character who is a dirtbag that uses women - yet this book didn't have one single cuss word in it. There were loveable characters who made me laugh and I even cried reading this book too. It had just the right amount of drama, light, funny moments and wasn't overly mushy in the love part of the story. I'll be reading Mr. Sparks' work again soon! ( )

Slow story, more of a romance, not my style. ( )
