The Best of Me

By Nicholas Sparks

Twenty five years after their ill-fated teen romance, Dawson and Amanda are brought back together for the funeral of their friend Tuck.  They were his only friends, and Tuck left instructions for them alone to carry out.  Along the way, they learn things about their friend and each other, and ask themselves how their choices affected their lives.

I am officially tired of Nicholas Sparks books... they are so predictable that I could now write one myself.  Starcrossed lovers, secrets, misunderstandings, and the inevitable death of a main character.  But you have to give him credit for writing readable stories, no matter how unsurprising the plot.
