Savannah isn’t loyal to anyone and can’t handle hardship in a relationship. L woman.

The book was biter-sweet. I love the sweet and heartbreaking moments. The end surprised me. I loved this book.

Hmmmm what did i think of this one?? I watched the movie a while back before reading this and i really liked the movie. Now after reading the book I'm kind of thinking that I may have to re watch it to see what was good about it. This is probably one of the first times that anyone has said that they prefer the movie over the book! I felt like Nicholas Sparks was just trying to hop on the band wagon of writing about asperger's syndrome. I also thought that he was trying to put too much sad stuff into one book and in doing that it made the book feel less real to me. I don't believe that that much bad stuff can happen to one person in a lifetime. I guess it was an ok book but I'm disappointed as I remember really enjoying the movie and almost crying at the end (I almost NEVER cry in sad movies or books so for me to almost cry is a big thing!)

This is (I think) the BEST Nicholas Sparks book. It's so sad and you feel so sorry for him.

NS took a slightly different path with this novel. It isn't the typical love story he usually writes. It doesn't have a happy ending, same with some of his other books. It wasn't entirely predictable, which is a plus... I think it'll be a great movie, and I'd see it.
