Jamz’ Talks:

I found this book to be quite an easy read and one that is riveting and passionate.  I especially enjoyed the character of Jamie Sullivan who is a nice, Bible-touting girl so naïve and yet also smart and sadly on the way to an inevitable fate.  I also found the character of Landon Carter to be fascinating because this book came out recently and yet its themes and plot were spiritual.  To have a bestselling author like Nicholas Sparks come up with such a story is a rare thing indeed.  I mean, in a time where such topics are frowned upon, this novel defies that.  I think the lesson here that this book taught me as a reader was: “eternal love.” That no matter what happens to a relationship of romance and/or love, if you truly love someone, you will never forget about him or her no matter what and that the memories you share(d) will live on.  I gave this wonderful book 5 stars on Goodreads because it deserves that and because it was downright relatable.  Thank you and have a great and cozy winter day! 

Best regards,
