From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wish comes a poignant love story about risking everything for a dream—and whether it’s possible to leave the past behind.

Colby Mills once felt destined for a musical career, until tragedy grounded his aspirations. Now the head of a small family farm in North Carolina, he spontaneously takes a gig playing at a bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, seeking a rare break from his duties at home.

But when he meets Morgan Lee, his world is turned upside-down, making him wonder if the responsibilities he has shouldered need dictate his life forever. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known.

While they are falling headlong in love, Beverly is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. Fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, she is trying to piece together a life for them in a small town far off the beaten track. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true.

In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. And fate will draw all three people together in a web of life-altering connections . . . forcing each to wonder whether the dream of a better life can ever survive the weight of the past.

The Best Book I’ve Read in Years!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’m a voracious reader: usually crime, lawyers. Etc… was getting bored and after a while I felt that I was just reading the same books that just melted into each other . Perusing Kindle books I came across Sparks,, I think I read one of his earlier novels; so I took a chance!
This is absolutely an amazing book. I kept on wondering how these 2 stories would come together. It wasn’t until getting close to the end that it all came together, leaving me truly breathless and realizing that this was the best thing I had read in years…
Can’t wait for my next Spark’s read !!!

Golden Girl

Unexpected story style

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

Of course there's a love story, but this book has several twists. Colby always wanted to perform, but family issues forced him to take over the homestead. When the opportunity arises to take a short hiatus from his daily life, he jumps at the chance. There he is drawn to a young, wide-eyed college student, Morgan, also there on vacation with friends, thus the love story angle. Then there is stressed beyond belief, Beverly, at first the reader is not sure how she fits into the book's storyline. Morgan's aspirations vs her parents' goals, vs new love, must say good-bye to Colby, who must return home and reality. Beverly's life bubble breaks, all within the course of a week. This twisted tale was an interesting read, but not even in the top 10 of his books.

Read in Two Days

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

The only reason I finished this book in 2 days is due to time constraints. Admittedly, I have purposely dragged out some NS books because I didn’t want them to end. I loved it. I didn’t predict the full twist, but had some inkling of what it was due to foreshadowing.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

I started reading Sparks when "The Notebook" was published (a great book), and I have read all of his books. His recent books just are not as good as his first ones. This one bored me, though it did pick up a bit at the end. I had decided to not purchase any more of his publications, but I took a chance on this one. Maybe it is just me, as I read a lot now and expect more, plus I am 75. It has gotten a lot of good reviews but I doubt that most older men will enjoy it. Probably it's geared more for young female readers, but I surely did not get my money's worth from it.

Genius!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

Sometimes you just need a Sparks novel to cleanse your literary palette. Love the plot. So skillfully woven. The masterful character development glues the reader to the fast-paced plot and brings acceptance to artfully crafted logic leaps. You will not be able to put this book down until you finish it. The joy of reading Sparks is that you know that at the end, everything will makes sense and you will feel sated and content. Smiles everyone! Smiles!
