Well, here is where the wonderful Nicholas Sparks put an unexpected ending to the story. Gosh...I really hate his books.....
You attracted to it because of the unexpected ending is it? LOL!
ReplyDeleteBtw, is there a person Catherine? Or that Garrett just simply write the Love letters for fun?
I've read this book many years ago and was really sad about the ending..I think there's a movie with the same title starring Kevin Costner in 1999..I watched the movie first then read the book..
ReplyDeleteThere's a movie in 1999 starring Kevin Costner as Garret, I watched it first before I read the book. The ending is really sad..but maybe that's the way to show that those two are not meant to be together :(

ReplyDeleteYes, very sad. Something like the song that goes "25 minutes too late...."
But all his novel also like this. Some sort of sad ending or a hint of sadness.
