This book is awesome. Telling two periods of love story at the same time. "Ira and Ruth. Luke and Sophia. " Somehow, their love story have something in common, but they also broke up because of the pressure and burden in their lives. Luke is a bull rider, and Sophia is a senior who is about to graduate. However, they met each other by accident, and they somehow fall for each other. Ira has a quite diffcult time, but Ruth had completely change his life, spend time with the most important woman in his life. After reading this book, you can feel that everything could be real, and it feel like it can actually happen in real life. Sophia is my favorite character in the story, because she is always thinking about other first more than herself, she is trying to help Luke to make the better decision for his life, but he refused. Even though all those things that happened to her so fastly, she can still be calm face and conquer the challenges. I recommand this book to the readers who love romance, and I also recommand to the lovers of Nicholas Sparks.
