The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks

The Lucky One is a romance filled book. A man named Logan who finds a photo of a woman while serving in the army in Iraq. His friend, Victor, claims it to be a lucky charm. After his friend mentions that he should go and set forward to find her, he does so. When he returns home from his tour in Iraq he researches the women in the photo and finds out that her name is Beth. When he arrives to her home he manages to get a job at the kennel that Beth works at. As he plans to win Beth’s heart, complications get in the way. ~Danielle Keating (per. 3)


Logan Thibault never believed in luck, until he found a picture. He was serving in the army when he found a photograph of a beautiful woman, and after no one claimed it, he kept it. Logan began to win at his poker games, and he survived harsh battles when some of his friends didn’t. His pal Victor believed that the picture was his lucky charm, and that as long as it was in his possession, he would be safe. Logan didn’t believe it at first, but when Victor passes away in a fishing accident, Logan starts out on a quest to find the mysterious girl. When he finds her, he applies for a job with her and slowly but surely makes her fall in love with him. As if dealing with Beth’s ex-husband isn’t enough, he has to go through the struggle of explaining why he came there to find her. Logan forms a bond with her child, Ben, and Beth is trying to figure out why Logan Thibault came to North Carolina in the first place. Throughout the ups and downs, The Lucky One is a great read for anyone. Nicholas Sparks is a fantastic author, and this is one of his best. The descriptions and details are perfect and make this book an excellent read.  ~Jamie G. (per. 3)

  1. Nicholas Sparks is a fantastic author and this seems to be another one of his great novels! Have you watched the movie? I heard it was extremely sad yet amazing(which most of his novels/movies based off of novels end up being).
