After finishing The Lucky One, I decided to read The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks, his latest book. I am not very far into this book but I already know that it will be a good one. I already have lots of questions and predictions floating around in my head.
Ira- He is curently sitting in his torn up car, unable to move, freezing, and with many of his ones broken after a bad accident. He is 91 and on the verge of death as he waits for somebody to find him and take him to the hospital. He is bewildered by the fact that his wife that has passed away is with him at this time. He is sure that he is dying and he starts to reminise on the biggest events of his life. At this point, he is not ready to die but as soon as he remebers all the great things he has been through in his life he will realize that there is nothing he hasn't done and he is preparded to die.
Sophia- As Ira struggles with life threatening things, Sophia is struggling with her ex boyfriend who was basically stalking her and wont leave her alone. She wants nothing to do with him but he doesnt feel the same way. Of all things, he follows her to a rodeo and tries to make things good between them but when Sophia doesnt agree with him, he gets very angry and won't let go of her. This is when a "cowboy", significantly smaller than Brian, steps in and gets him away from her. I think that this will be the start of a new relationship for Sophia and the cowboy. After everything that has happened with her i believe she will tell the cowboy everythinfg and they will somehow find themselves spending a lot of time together.

Characters
I finally finished The Lucky One. Overall this was just a well written intriguing book for many reasons. One of those reasons is the characters. The characters were very well developed and relatable.
Logan Thibault- Logan is a veteran who suffers from PTSD. His PTSD and the passing of his best friend, is what i believe pushed him to find the girl in the picture he found during war that was supposedly his "good luck charm". He went on a very long journey, on foot, to find this woman. This tells you how determined Logan is. He is also very strong willed and he perseveres through many things.
Keith- Keith is the main antagonist is this book. He is very manipulative and he has many secrets that he would do anything to keep. He is also very self centred and feels as if he always needs to be in control. In the end these characteristics do him no justice and he ends up in a bad place.
Beth- Beth is overall a very caring person. Having said this, she has troubles forgiving people and moving on from her past. When she finds out that Logan came to look for her because of the picture and his suspicions that it was the reason he is stayed alive during war, she becomes very angry and wants nothing more to do with him. This is because that picture was her brothers and was meant to keep him alive during war, not Logan, and it failed. From this she has a hard time deciding if she should continue to let Logan into her life.
Overall the characters in this book become very developed by the end and it feels as if you really know them.
