" The story of Marty is very inspirational. They way Clark and her get together and raise a family is amazing. "
— Connie, 2/28/2022" There's not much to say about these books. They're simple and there really isn't much to them, but I love them. I especially love Marty's mothering ways. "
— Jen, 5/22/2011" Enjoying this series! Different from the film adaptation from the Hallmark channel-much better. "
— Karen, 5/20/2011" I liked the first book in this series where it encompassed a shorter period of time. This book covered such a large span of time that I felt that there wasn't as much character development & so I did not get as attached to the characters as I did in the first book. "
— Katy, 4/28/2011" I enjoyed this book. It delves further into the lives of the characters we know and love from the first book. It moves quickly (which is sometimes good and sometimes bad) trying to cover a lot of years in a few short pages. It is a quick read, and a good book to just enjoy. "
— Kristen, 3/13/2011" The storyline is not so strong like in the movie, but still its a good read. "
— Quincess, 3/4/2011" again another great book by this author. "
— Kathryn, 2/1/2011" Really Liked it! Cute Story Line! "
— Hannah, 1/13/2011" I don't like the grammar choices of the characters when they speak. It's rather annoying to me. If you've seen the movie, this book is COMPLETELY different from how they did the movie. It's.....so weird. "
— Endor, 1/11/2011" I'm enjoying the story of Clark & Marty. It's sweet and simple and very restful. "
— Sue, 10/7/2010" I liked the first book better than this one. "
— Stacy, 9/7/2010" This book covers something like 15 years in 200 pages, and has about the depth you'd expect from that. "
