Dear John (Fireside Book Review)
Dear John is Nicholas Sparks’ latest novel. As you know, I’ve read all of Sparks’ books and I have my favorites, and now Dear John is one of them.
It’s a touching story of young love that lasts a lifetime. John Tyree first met the love of his life, Savannah Curtis, on the beach in North Carolina. John was at home visiting his father while on a short leave from the military. Savannah was in town with some of her peers working on a Habitat for Humanity project.
From the beginning, theirs was a powerful bond always separated by time and distance. John had his obligations to the military and Savannah, a college student, had her obligations to her education.
The two remained very committed to each other, despite their distance, until the unexpected events of September 11th changed everything, not only for the world, but also for this young couple’s future.
A novel like this makes you wonder about all the people who pass through our lives and how often a single incident can change fate forever. It’s a very touching and sweet novel. And, you might want to have some tissue nearby!!
Let us know your thoughts on Dear John if you’ve read it.
