I liked this story, The narrators were pretty good, especially the voice of Beckett. It fit him so well or what you imagined him to be …deep and sultry type of voice. The sex scenes went on a bit long… To me that part wasn’t important as you could give an illusion or a little hint as to their hot love scene without all the details that make it awkward. At first, I was really ticked off that Colt was killed off, but then I see that, that is life… And not everything turns out like a Hallmark movie. Kids die, grief happens. Listening to the part where Beckett and Colt essentially say goodbye was heartbreaking enough to the point that I had to get a tissue just to wipe my eyes All in all, this family learned how to move on and honor Colt’s memory.

They say that the book is always better than the movie and in this case, that is so true. In the movie, they glossed over the raw motion over domestic abuse. The book took you there, and gave you all the feels.

Good story…. But the back and forth between the two families took so long to tie them together that I almost gave up… and even then, it was a little detached…. But still, the emotions that emerged from Caitlin over her guilt at not being the savior for her sister was heartbreaking…

Good story, great narration. I wanted to punch the husband in the face, and then remembered, it’s just a story

I feel like Nicholas Sparks is running out of ideas here…. Same old story line… boy meets girl, they don’t want to care about each other but they do… toss in some predictable drama and it all works out in the end. That’s NS in a nutshell. It used to work, but it doesn’t seem to do it anymore.

Good story, although it was a little predictable… The narration was very good. I think this would make a pretty good movie especially the conflict between Jim and Marguerite.

Couldn’t stop listening… loved his grumpiness while clearly, he had a soft spot that longed to show itself
