I LOVE IT! Probably my favorite love stories ever! The book really got me. I cried so much especially the part about Veronica's dad. Nicholas Sparks indeed knows how to tug the readers heart. You can just feel the sorrow and sadness of this story. I dont know what else to say, i just love this book! 
 And yes, i also watched the movie version after finished reading. Well, two words. It-Sucks. 
 I dont get it, the books was aweeesomeeee, and the movie was blekhhh. Miley was seriously not doing a good job. And a lot of important stuff were cut in the movie making itcshort and uninteresting. I was expecting like a movie full of tears just like the book, but meh i was restless. 
 Anyway who cares, the book was awesome! Way to go Nicholad Sparks!
