The Best of Me (Movie Tie-In Enhanced Ebook)
The Best of Me (Movie Tie-In Enhanced Ebook) | Nicholas Sparks
WITH FEATURETTES FROM NICHOLAS SPARKS AND THE MOVIE CAST, DELETED SCENES, MUSIC VIDEO, AND MORE! IN THEATERS OCTOBER 17, 2014! Starring Michelle Monaghan, James Marsden, Luke Bracey, and Liana Liberator "Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She'd believed in it once, too, back when she was eighteen." In the spring of 1984, high school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell deeply, irrevocably in love. Though they were from opposite sides of the tracks, their love for one another seemed to defy the realities of life in the small town of Oriental, North Carolina. But as the summer of their senior year came to a close, unforeseen events would tear the young couple apart, setting them on radically divergent paths. Now, twenty-five years later, Amanda and Dawson are summoned back to Oriental for the funeral of Tuck Hostetler, the mentor who once gave shelter to their high school romance. Neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever changed their lives. As Amanda and Dawson carry out the instructions Tuck left behind for them, they realize that everything they thought they knew -- about Tuck, about themselves, and about the dreams they held dear -- was not as it seemed. Forced to confront painful memories, the two former lovers will discover undeniable truths about the choices they have made. And in the course of a single, searing weekend, they will ask of the living, and the dead: Can love truly rewrite the past?

This is such a cool idea for a swap!! And I love how you included multiple tier options for involvement. Thanks @candority !! Check out her original post for sign ups. #bestof2020swap

candority Thanks so much for sharing and signing up! I've been having a bit of an issue with Google Forms, where for several people I have received their application twice. Your application is one of them. Did you intend to submit twice (for two matches), or only once? 4y

One of the most heart touching books. The story, the character development is really good. The unforgettable but unfortunate love between them tugsthe strings of one's heart

Typical NS romance... easy read and helped me get back into reading after constantly letting myself get dragged into Netflix rather then picking up a book

This was cute, typical Nicholas Sparks, and yes, highly predictable.

But I absolutely loved listening to the audiobook.

Amanda and Dawson were high school sweethearts. With very different lives who veered off onto very different tracks. Now, years later, fully grown, they find themselves back in their hometown together.

Does one really ever get over their first love?

I really appreciated Sparks‘ attention to character detail on this one!

I thought this book was fantastic. I have never read this story nor have I watched the movie. I thought the storyline was deep and engaging. I liked that the characters were relatable and their decisions questioned my beliefs at times. I was sucked into the story from chapter one. I throughly enjoyed The Best of Me.

The story is about love, friendship, anger, grief, and an overwhelming desire for pure happiness that is packed full of emotion.

Curiouser_and_curiouser I'm just doing a stocktake of my books shelves atm and I have Nicholas Sparks copy of Bend in the Road. I will have to keep an eye out for this one on my next op shop visit 😉 5y
LoverOfLearning @Curiouser_and_curiouser very nice! I have never read or heard of a bend in the road. I have to tell you though the best Nicholas Sparks movie I've ever seen was The Longest Ride. So good and such an interesting character mashup. I would like to read that book soon 5y

This was good - pretty standard Nicholas Sparks. Sad and romantic with a twist. The story was very interesting even though it was pretty predictable. Overall, it was a quick read and I liked it.

I read this for #booked2018 #beachread. (Yes I am very far behind, yay work) I tend to read Nicholas Sparks a lot in the summer since they are easy, if not somewhat predictable reads. Once again I enjoyed his book. I did figure one thing out at the end, but it wasn't as predictable as I expected.

Vinnies haul on Thursday. I shopped so hard. Best and Less had bras and undies for under $3 and I got lots of Xmas preparation done at the Reject Shop. I got to watch my parent‘s race horse come fourth. Morning tea was at my favourite Icky Sticky and dinner was at my favourite pub the Old Victoria Inn.

I was going to go outside to the porch to read, but #jack had other plans. Started the tagged book for #booked2018 #beachread. #blackcatsoflitsy

The funniest part about this is I didn't originally have the blanket on my lap. He won't snuggle unless I put the blanket down.

TheBookAddict I think I‘ve only read 2 Nicholas Sparks books and I loved The Last Song. I read it years before the movie came out. I actually have not watched the movie, I wouldn‘t like for it to ruin that story for me. I may have to look into borrowing this one from the library. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheBookAddict I love his books! I always read them first and then watch the movie ❤️of course the book is always better!! 7y
TheBookAddict @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I usually am not into romance books, but I sometimes delve into it. So I‘ll have to check out some of his books. 7y

No. No. No. I loved the idea of this. Young lovers reconnect, sweet old dude, cuteness. But, no. This was so annoying. Dawson was so sweet and I couldn't stand Amanda. Then the end? No.

En 1984, Amanda y Dawson se enamoraron. Aunque eran de clases sociales diferentes, su amor parecía capaz de desafiar cualquier obstáculo. Pero después de su graduación tomaron caminos opuestos. 25 años después, se reencuentran por el funeral de Tuck, quien había protegido su historia de amor. Juntos deberán cumplir con su última voluntad, que les ayudará a darse cuenta de que no todo era lo que parecía. ¿Puede el amor reescribir el pasado?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not Sparks' best book. I liked the story of their past, but hated the conflict between Amanda's current marriage and her obvious feeling for Dawson. The ending was 100% unbelievable. 1,000,000 things would have to line up for this outcome to happen and in a "real world" book it is unbelievable.
