"You want me to fall back in love with you. But how do I do that when I haven't ever stopped?"

When Amanda shout out the words, the two of them, Dawson and Amanda, both knew that they had to make a decision that should have been made 20 years ago.

The third Nicholas Sparks book I read. Though I started to recognise a certain kind of pattern of his stories, I couldn't help shading tears when I read the accident happened to Amanda's son and the fight started by the two cousins' of Dawson. I could sense the fate of Amanda and Dawson.

For the record, I personally doublt the epic love of 20 years. How could we even understand what love is when we were 17? Not to mention the prison thing and the status gap between the two of them. But, why is the story still so touching? Maybe we don't care the realistic root of this story, it brought me into a world where love can outstand social class and travel through decades. I had to admit that I love broken hearts to be together again.

The best plot is the loop of destiny of Dawson and the doctor he murdered accidentally, David Bonner. The dark-haired man seemed like a metaphor, I'd like to see it as the fate. The ghost of Mr. Bonner was bound to save Dawson twice from the rig and the shoot. For Dawson was also doomed to meet Amanda again and to save Mr. Bonner's son. A life for a life, they said. Though it seemed even more unrealistic in life, I believe sometimes that's the way life is. They were bound to happen.

Just like the reunion of the two love birds. Like Sparks said, Amanda sensed that the story between her and Dawson never stopped and the reunion may be a new begainning or an end. I have to say, this is the best ending that I can ever think of. Because what else do you expect Amanda do? Abandon her husband and three kids and tore the family apart? The sweetheart from Nicholas Sparks's books could never done something like that. Leave Dawson and they both go on with their lives like nothing happened? Not a chance cause this is a novel! NIcholas's novels never end with normal boring endings. Remember 'Message in a bottle'? Now that the two distance lovers wouldn't reconcile where to move and to live a life together, why not give their love an epic and miserable ending. So that everyone would feel like crying when they ever thought of the story.

Same thing happened again here in 'the Best of Me'. Only this time, better. Dawson's heart was transplanted into Amanda's son's body. This is another doomed of fate. Dawson lived a longer life in the body of the beloved son of Amanda's. Whenever Amanda was together with Jared, watching him graduating from collage, falling in love and breaking out with girl, walking down the ailes, she could remember Dawson and the best of him. Ah ah, well, this sound like a well-worn pattern again! But I don't care.

To the poetic and epic love of Dawson and Amanda.
