In this New York Times bestselling novel of first love and second chances, former high school sweethearts confront the painful truths of their past to build a promising future -- together.

"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?

Gosto amargo

Nunca tinha lido nada do Sparks até comprar esse livro. E, sim, óbvio que fui com muita sede ao pote, mas isso não ameniza o gosto amargo que ficou após o fim do livro. Precisava ser tão trágico? Que o Sparks tem esse jeito fácil de escrever que prende rapidamente você à história ninguém pode negar. O que também ninguém pode deixar de concordar é que o cara tem uma quedinha por finais dramáticos e trágicos. 'The best of me' não é diferente. Mas, sim, embora desconfiasse do que ia acontecer bem antes do fim resolvi terminar só pra ter certeza. Não me arrependi, mas também não é o melhor livro que já li do gênero.
