A not unsurprising ending, but Nicholas writes with such a rich tapestry of expression and vivid imagery, I thoroughly enjoyed this right to the last letter.

I especially like his deep dive into sailing, diving and dreaming in this book. ( )

Sad, sad, sad. Of course, this author is known for his romantic love stories, but this one is torture to read. It's about finding true love, losing it, and learning to carry on. It's well written and gives fascinating history on messages-in-the-bottle history. While reading this book, you will absorb more than a few sentimental life lessons, but the ending is a little too sad for me. ( )

This book is a 10/10. I would highly recomend. Nicholas Sparks is my absolute favorite author and this book did not disapoint! ( )

Too predictable, too many protests of not ready for a new partner, obligatory soft porn, couldn't finish it. ( )
