This was my first time reading a Nicholas Sparks book and I have to be honest that I had my doubts going into this. I wasn’t sure this would be a writer I’d enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading romance books every once in a while, but I’m very picky and don’t like them too sappy. And even though a lot of people might disagree, that stigma is still attached to his books and the movies based on them. Nevertheless, I wanted to try one and of the movies (yes I’ve seen almost every one) A Walk to Remember was always my favourite.

This is one of those rare times when I enjoyed the movie more than the book. It’s not a bad book, it just failed to move me like the movie did. The ending is sad, to be sure, but I wasn’t balling my eyes out if you know what I mean
