A friend gifted me a Nicholas Sparks book for Christmas, and being the sappy, mushy person I am, ate it all up. Be warned, though, this does not have a happy ending. It's more darn realistic than any Fifty Shades book (more on that on another post).
So for those who love Nicholas Sparks books, this is a must read and wasn't bad compared to the movie too. It helped that Channing Tatum was in it, yeah.
Here are some quotes I love:
“I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”
“You're a hero and a gentleman, you're kind and honest, but more than that, you're the first man I ever truly loved. And no matter what the future brings, you always will be, and I know that my life is better for it.”
“When I think of you and me and what we shared, I know it would be easy for others to dismiss our time together as simply a by-product of the days and nights we spent by the sea, a "fling" that, in the long run, would mean absolutely nothing. Thats why I don't tell people about us. They wouldn't understand, and I don't feel the need to explain, simply becasue I know in my heart how real it was... how real this is. When I think of you I cant help smiling, knowing that you've completed me somehow. I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you'll take me in your arms again."
“Love should bring joy, it should grant a person peace, but here and not, it was bringing only pain.”
To my dear John, I need to make this painful choice because I think I need to heal by myself. The last line speaks for itself. I need time to think, to discover me again, and just be free. With time and distance, I will forget the bad memories. But when we meet again I hope we have a better chance of working things out.
