The surprise at the end was gorgeous, and I sat there with a warmed heart and a smile on my face. By halfway through though, I had warmed up to Wilson and I loved all he was doing for Jane. I found this book started slowly, and it took a while to get going. However, this is not my favourite of his works. The more Nicholas Sparks novels I read, the more I love him as an author. This gives him an opportunity to repair his marriage. This caused him to try and change his ways – and is helped by his daughter announcing that she is getting married. This woke him up to the fact his marriage was strained and his wife was sad. This seemed fine until he forgot his wedding anniversary.

He wanted to provide them with a great life, but that meant he missed parties and sporting events, and worked very late most days. He is hard-working, to the point where he has seemingly neglected his family. The story does not follow Allie and Noah, but their son-in-law Wilson. At first, when I saw that there was a sequel, I was unsure as to how that would work (if you have read The Notebook I’m sure you will understand my questioning) but I was satisfied with this book. Now, with the memories of his in-laws’ magnificent fifty-year love affair as his guide, Wilson struggles to find his way back into the heart of the woman he adores.Īs the synopsis states, this is the follow up book to The Notebook. Wilson is sure of one thing–his love for his wife has only deepened and intensified over the years. A successful estate attorney, he has provided well for his family, but now, with his daughter’s upcoming wedding, he is forced to face the fact that he and Jane have grown apart and he wonders if she even loves him anymore.

Despite the shining example of Allie and Noah’s marriage, Wilson is himself a man unable to easily express his emotions. Desperate to win back his wife, Jane’s, heart, he must figure out how to make her fall in love with him… again. After thirty years of marriage, Wilson Lewis, son-in-law of Allie and Noah Calhoun (of The Notebook), is forced to admit that the romance has gone out of his marriage.
