Oh, I think I loved this book even more the second time around. I forgot how much I loved it and then I started the first chapter and was completely sucked in. I read this book back in 2003 (18 years ago) so I had forgotten a lot of it. I reread it in two nights and I have to admit that it's definitely still a top favorite Nicholas Sparks book for me. The chemistry, the suspense and of course the dog checked all the boxes on my list again for a great book.
