I’ve had a long reading relationship with Nicholas Sparks, and the best way I can describe it is unpredictable. Going into his each of his books, I never doubt he has a good story to tell. However, that story is not always for me. It unusually ends in one of two ways… I either hate it or love it. My most recent experiences have fallen a bit short, so going into The Longest Ride it’s no surprise that I was skeptical. With the movie being right around the corner, and the trailers seeming to be appealing, as I’ve said before, I can’t in good-book faith see the movie without reading the book first.

Sofia is a senior in college and Luke is a professional rodeo bull rider. Sofia has just come off a bad break up and certainly had not planned to meet someone new. Her roommate drags her along to a good old fashioned barn dance where she meets Luke. Their conversation is easy, they instantly connect. And, their romance begins. They fall in love. But they also have obstacles in their path. Luke doesn’t tell Sofia why he hasn’t been riding the last eighteen months and has just now returned to the arena. And how does a professional bull rider that lives on a ranch fit into the life of an art history major? A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first. As Ira’s story went on, weaving in with the present story of Luke and Sophia’s, I wondered how in the world Sparks was going to connect these three characters. How their stories would intertwine. I loved the way they did finally cross. It made the end that much more special and beautiful. There were tears flowing when I finished this one. a b "Professional Bull Riders - Filming underway on 'The Longest Ride' ". Professional Bull Riders. Archived from the original on April 23, 2019 .

This book wasn't quite what I had expected, it started out feeling very much like The Notebook but it didn't live up to that standard. Overall I enjoyed this book, not my favourite Nicholas Sparks book, but then again, not the worst!
