My first Nicholas Sparks book and since I first picked it up, I've probably read it around 20 times.It's a super cute story about first love and even if there are several clichés, it still makes me cry.Nicholas Sparks knows how to reach hearts and he does it in such an amazing way that the stories stay with you. His books always end bittersweet; a sad ending which still leaves you slightly hopeful.Reading up on the author, I found that many of his books are based on situations from his real life which make the stories even more touching.
