Oh thank God for Nicholas Sparks! He was put here to melt your heart and remind us what the feeling of a first love is like! This book is being made into a movie (I believe his 4th book to be made into a movie after Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook) so of course I had to read the book before I see it.
Savannah is a young co-ed who meets John after he rescues her bag when it falls off the pier into the ocean. What could be more romantic? (OK are you saying "gag me with a spoon" yet? jk) It is a fast-paced love story about John who is in the army and Savannah. The unbearable-ness (is that a word?) of being apart, writing old-fashioned letters back and forth and young love. Savannah gets John to see his dad for who he really is (the relationship between father in son is ok, just seems strained). Unfortunately there is a bit of heartache on both parts. I won't spoil it for you all. It was a nice love story in which I remembered what it was like to fall in love for the first time and get so caught up in those emotions--so powerful! If you're a fan of N. Sparks, you won't be disappointed by this one.
