The Best of Me opens in theaters today, starring James Marsden as Dawson and Michelle Monaghan as Amanda. The film is based on the book by Nicholas Sparks and fans of the author will be happy to know that we are giving away copies of the book to three lucky winners. The story revolves around former high school sweethearts Dawson and Amanda who reunite after 20 years apart when they return to their home town for the funeral of Tuck, the man who took Dawson in when he needed refuge from his violent family. The two parted when Amanda’s parents refused to pay for college if she continued to see Dawson. Realizing she was in danger from his family and not wanting her to miss out on college, he broke up with her. Although she moved on and got married, the memory of Amanda never left him and he remained single.
Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they’ve never forgotten, but his family continues to pose a threat, and although Amanda has stayed with her alcoholic husband for her children’s sake, she can’t ignore the fact that Dawson is her one true love.

With Valentine’s Day approaching fast, why don’t you pick a rom-com to get yourself in the mood? Here’s what we recommend watching with your love or your squad on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
I’m the type of person that needs to read the book, before watching the movie – please help? 🙂
I’m sure everyone will say the same thing but it has to be The Notebook. It is the sweetest (also saddest) love story ever. Just fantastic!
the lucky one, it is romance and suspense
The notebook
hmm…THE LAST SONG and SAFE HAVEN. They are about young love and be hopeful in life even if things seem to be at a never ending dark place. Relatable and enjoyable stories.
I really liked the notebook – because it was simply just so sweet
The Notebook – because the basics in the story told in the book/movie is familiar to me.

The Notebook. Loved it. Makes me cry everytime I see it. Nicholas Sparks is a great author. I always go see the movie after reading the novel.
I enjoyed the notebook for a love that strong from the husband wanting to be with his wife and wanting her to remember there life together.
Tears to my eyes for sure
the notebook hands down. Best love story in a long time
the only one i read was Safe Heaven – since i found it very différent from the movie, I should read the others !! Love all the movies !
The Lucky One and The Notebook!
My favorite book & movie by N. Sparks id ‘Lucky One’
My favourite was probably Safe Haven! 🙂 I am so excited to see Best of Me, I have enjoyed every Nicholas Sparks book/movie so far !
definitely the Notebook!!
The Notebook
The Notebook
Three Weeks with My Brother his biography
The Notebook.
The Best of Me has always been my favourite Nicholas Sparks book. The undying love between Dawson and Amanda is amazing and the ending gets me everytime.
Nights in Rodanthe because I had a similar experience, in which me and my boyfriend separated because I have to further my education in Canada and he stayed for his business. A year later, I went back to my hometown and that was the last time I saw him. Three months after I returned to Canada, I received a terrible news that he died at job site due to terrible accident. When I read the book for the first time I was so shocked because incidents happened in the story (Paul’s dead after separated with Adrienne)is so similar to mine. A touching story, Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author, I read most of his books.
My favorite is The Lucky One because the storyline is extremely engaging. I read the whole book in a day.
True Believer is my fave! it’s the first book of Nicholas Parks that I read
The Notebook because Noah & Allie’s Love story is the best I have ever read. It is truly heartbreaking and beautiful!
My wife loved “The Last Song”. She said the story’s so touching and heart breaking. The book made her burst into tear. Hope to win this one for her. Thanks for the chance.
The Notebook
My favorite would be “The Notebook”.
I haven’t read any of them yet, so I’d love to figure it out. Thanks for the chance.
I would have to definitely say the notebook…the movie to date is still my favourite and the book had even more amazing detail…the most touching, loving, sad and exciting love story I have ever read on my time on this earth.
The Notebook is my favorite Nicholas Sparks book because the story shows the tenderness of one’s dedicated love for another who has Alzheimer’s disease, a terrible disease & reminds us to always be patience & loving to those who have it.
i have not had the pleasure of reading any of his work so I do not have a favourite. Hopingto win this to start a new author obsession.
The Notebook
Safe Haven because is a suspenseful story of love, fear, and safety, made me realize that trusting others is not always easy and no matter how much time has passed, previous burdens can haunt you until you have received full closure from the fearful situation.
I loved The Last Song because it was such a touching movie about Mylie Cyrus.
The notebook…
My favourite is the Last Song.. It makes me cry!
I liked them all …” A walk to remember”, great and unusual all at the same time.
Message in a bottle was my favourite but I have liked everyone I have seen.
I would say my fav is The Notebook because it is the only one I know 🙂
The Notebook
Hands down the Notebook!
My favorite Nicholas Sparks book is A Walk To Remember. Both the book and the movie made me cry so much it left a lasting impression on me.
Favorite is “Dear John”.
The Notebook, of course!
My favorite is A Walk To Remember
The Notebook. It is beautifully written!
The Lucky One! Just a great story with the right kind of ending!
The Notebook. The story is beautiful and gut-wrenching.
The Notebook, loved it as my Mom was going threw the same thing in real life & we had to deal with it. Thanks & Take Care
Definitely The Notebook because it is beautiful story about two young lovers that most people can relate to.
The Notebook because it was so touching and brought tears to my eyes.
I love The Notebook – especially for the way their love endures to the bittersweet end.
My favourite Nicholas Sparks’ novel is “A Walk to Remember.” I always felt like an outsider like Jamie. I love the way Landon loves Jamie until the very last moments and after she passes, and that her walk down the isle is truly a walk to remember.
The Notebook
Hard choice because I’ve like them all but will choose Safe Haven because I loved Julianne & Josh together.
Safe Haven
The Lucky One.. Such a GREAT story! I just loved it.
The Notebook
The Notebook, I surprised my girlfriend when I bought this for her…..she loved it !!!!
The NOTEBOOK hands down. A beautiful and touching movie that shows just how wonderful a thing;true love really can be. Hard to come by these days. 🙂
The notebook for sure. Best love story in a long time.
The Notebook for sure, I love all his books but Notebook is my favourite
Right now it is the Notebook; but this one could very be a winner for me
The Notebook of course
I liked the Notebook. Reminded me of my grandmother and her alzeimers. It is a real trial to go through and still be there for them. Heartbreaking in so many ways.
My favorite was The Notebook
Notebook great story the power of love my mother had alzeimers.
The Notebook
The Last Song! It went really quickly for me and it was just great!
The Notebook and Safe Haven, but all his books are enjoyable.
The Notebook, it was such a beautiful, tender story.
The NOTEBOOK….. It was the very 1st one of Nicolas Sparks I read.. Then of course the movie was fantastic & had Ryan Gosling in it. That propelled our Canadian Icon into stardom. It was just so wonderful to see what a loving husband was doing for his wife of so many years suffering from Alzheimer’s….
If only more people could be so lucky as the ones in Nicolas Sparks book….The NOTEBBOOK…………..:)
I love all of Nicholas Sparks books/movies but I think “The Notebook” is my favorite! I can’t wait to see “The Best of Me”!
Safe Haven because there’s a twist that makes you feel that things aren’t always as they seem and also gives hope to women going through bad relationships.
the notebook is my alltime favorite..it has it all..happiness,true love,tears..
The Notebook, I loved it. It was romantic and based on a true story. I tend to lean towards true stories and of course it made me cry.
The Notebook is my fave Nicholas Sparks book because the love story between Noah and Allie is extraordinary and amazing. Tear jerker.
I loved his book, The Last Song. It was a beautiful story of how you can’t always believe what you hear. Plus, when you think you’ll never have a good relationship with someone again you can actually end up growing closer. It’s a lesson, too, that life is short and we need to cherish everyday with the ones we love.
The Notebook – as I can relate to the story.
The Notebook. Not many movies bring me to tears but The Notebook definitely did. I’ve seen in 5 times.
Never read one of his book but would like to try.
j’ adore lire ,c’ est un moment de detente le soir!!! assise dans mon fauteuil confortablement
the notebook love that book.
Hard to choose but I have to go with the vow.
The Notebook. No matter how many times I read the book or watch the movie it always makes me cry.
Night In Rodanthe. The story was so heart wrenching. You had so much hope they would have a happy ending and be together for a very long time.
The Last Song
my favourite Nicholas Sparks book is A Walk to Remember because it showed the character Shane grow as a person when he met Jamie
The movie ends with an ending where the person she likes does something to soothe the pain and suffering for the loss of a loved one.
Message in a Bottle, because it doesn’t matter how you meet someone, love is something you fight for. And also because I know how hard it is to move on after losing someone close.
The Notebook, no question, is my favourite Nicholas Sparks book.
I love Safe Harbour. The love that develops between the main characters, as he protects her from a crazy ex, is sweet and compelling. I also love the way that she has her “neighbour” to help her cope.
Oops, meant to write Safe Haven!
The Notebook; loved the determination of the husband and his undying love for his wife.
A Bend in the Road
Safe Haven, mostly because I think its the only one I’ve actually read.
A Walk To Remember, it has a special message.
The Notebook – such a sweet love story
I absolutely love The Notebook. Such a beautiful love story and I am such a hopeless romantic. <3
The Lucky One . It was a surprise to me
This story reminds us of our real life love story. We fell in love at a verybyoung age yetvtiming was not right….we never forgot about each other & after 15 years, we crossed paths. Its almost like the book was written about us….from the mechanic blue eyed Dawson to the sorry alcoholic husband. We can not wait to read the novel and watch the movie.
The Notebook. It’s a beautifully written story and I loved the movie!
Love them all
