Before I begin this late night book review, we have to take a quick journey back nine years. Nine years ago, I was a a very shy, awkward, 12-year-old struggling to walk around the school without being mocked or called out on a flaw I already was aware I had. I spent every lunch period hiding my face in a book, spending those peaceful 30 minutes in my own fantasy world. Other girls my age, were talking about the latest gathering or boy crush that arose overnight which was something way out of my comfort zone. I told myself that I would one day have that romantic book relationship (which I do currently) that would make me see what all the hype was about. That was when my best friend suggested reading one of the most well-known romance writer’s books: Nicholas Sparks. I was more than willing to take the suggestion but then a situation arose. The librarian, who became a friend after how many days I spent in the library, informed me that Nicholas Spark’s books are not written for the young mind due the material that was more mature. I respected her decision. When I was told this little piece of information, I told myself that I would put on my bucket list (12-years-old with a bucket list?) to read all of Nicholas Sparks books. I am now 21 and being that Sparks continues to write more novels, I refuse to fall behind. I decided that I would get started on this little item on the list. At the time, I thought how hard could it really be? Then I learned that there are 25 books that I have to read without being distracted and tempted by other appealing novels.
