Well,this was basically a romantic story wherein the viewers are treated to a U turn in the end when both lead romance couples John and Savannah had to go through with some respective incidents in their life before they could go through their happy romance in the end.Some may find it funny and a bad soap opera especially coming from Nicholas Sparks as viewers are normally treated with many of his novels that get adapted on film.But for others looking for a love story,they will definitely enjoy it especially those who are still hopeful in their relationships that have ended.
