when reading this book i could not seem to put it down. I seemed to be engulfed entirely.I would recommend this book highly! the story of noah and allie which sparks wrote about in the notebook seemed to come back while reading this. I think that it possibly is one of the best books i have ever read other than the notebook which was also awesome. some of the things that happen in the book will actually bring tears to your eyes and i think i smiled so much while reading it my cheeks were sore afterwards.
