katietotallybooked 's review for:

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
4.0

I've had this book on my Goodreads TBR since September 2013! I think I had to wait long enough to have forgotten the movie before reading it. Which worked, although I still was imagining Julianne Hough & Josh Duhamel as Alex & Katie/Erin.

This book was really good. At times it was maddening and at times it was heartwarming. I think it also has one of my most hated characters that I can ever recall reading about - Kevin. Ugh he infuriated me!

Here are 5 words that I will use to describe this book...
Twisty
Maddening
Gripping
Heartwarming
Empathy - Building
