I have read two by two, it is an story of love lost and found, two star-crossed kids meet one summer on the beach in New Bern, North Carolina. Over a decade passes before Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson find each other again, but in the interim, neither forgets the other. When they are finally reunited, many obstacles stand in the way of their love, both because of choices they have made and because of events beyond their control. They actually made it together at last.
