I have to admit...I heard about this book because I saw the preview for the
upcoming movie starring Zac Efron. For those of you who don't know, I have a serious crush on Zac Efron and I had to know the plot of the movie before it comes out this spring! I ordered this book on my Kindle (thanks mom, dad, Emily and Lee!!) and was able to start reading it over Christmas break. I've only read one or two Nicholas Sparks books before due to the fact that they are always made into movies (i.e., Dear John, The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, and Message in a Bottle).

The novel follows a marine through combat in Iraq and then as he tries to adjust to life back home in the United States. While on tour, the marine found a photograph of a young woman and comes to believe that the photo brings him luck. After his tour is over, he vows to find the woman in the photo. The story that follows is one of love, fate, and redemption. I highly recommend reading this novel BEFORE the movie comes out. Trust me...its worth it!!
