The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

4.0

I’m so happy I finally got around to reading this one! The movie is one of my favourite romantic films so I had high hopes for this book, and it met just about all my expectations!

This novel is short and sweet, that’s the best way to describe it. The writing is poetically beautiful without being too sappy in my opinion, and I definitely cried multiple times while reading it. This is one I can see myself re-reading in the future. I do, however, feel like I enjoyed the movie a little bit more. I found that the way the movie handled certain details to be more believable and more thoroughly fleshed out, especially when it came to the 1930’s and 1940’s scenes. Overall, I loved this book and recommend it to any romance lovers.
