The Longest Ride is the story of two couples worlds apart.
We first get introduced to Ira, an elderly 91 year old widower. His
beloved wife Ruth had died 9 years earlier. Ira should have given up
driving years ago but being the stubborn man he is continues to do so.
It's winter and he slides off into a ditch. Already dying with cancer
he breaks several bones. Before he is rescued he has conversations with
his dead wife. They recall their life together from the beginning
until the day Ruth died.
The other story is of Sophia, an art major at Wake College. She had just broken up with her cheating boyfriend Brian when she meets Luke Collins, a farmer and a weekend rodeo rider. They develop a friendship that slowly turns into love but Luke is hiding a secret.
I kept wondering how in the world these two stories would converge. It was not until the last 50 pages that the stories converged and it was a doozy! Kept reading. You won't want to miss this last ride!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Some people don't like to read Nicholas Sparks novels because often his novels make you cry and have sad endings. Not so with this novel. I give this novel 5 stars.
