Nicholas Sparks has once again made his readers cry. This book emphasized family relationship that has struggled because of divorce, rebellion and misunderstanding but overcomes all odds in the end. Romance has little impact though. I'm somewhat disappointed. I think Sparks' not really inspired with this one. There is some loops that he did not researched on Steve's illness and the emotion of some of the characters is not well explained as compared to 'the notebook' and 'a walk to remember'. Hope he'll be inspired next time.
