Bestseller Nicholas Sparks released a new book this summer called The Best of Me. If you haven’t had the chance to read it yet, you can read the synopsis here!
High school students Amanda Collier and Dawson Cole fell in love back in the spring of ’84 in Oriental, North Carolina. Amanda was from a posh family, while Dawson came from a criminal family. They beat the odds and stayed together until their senior year when everything seemed to be trying to tear them apart. Both Amanda and Dawson began their own separate lives after graduation.
Twenty-five years later, Tuck Hostetler – the person who supported Amanda and Dawson’s love, passed away. Amanda and Dawson are summoned back to Oriental by Tuck’s will for his funeral. Neither seemed to have lived the life they imagined they would live and neither could forget the love they shared. Tuck left a set of instructions for Amanda and Dawson to fulfill. While carrying out Tuck’s last wishes, Amanda and Dawson find themselves reminiscing about the past. Will they end up repeating history? Or will they end up going their separate ways once again?
