A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. No boy had ever asked her out. Landon would never have dreamed of it.
Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter's life would never be the same. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood...
Quote of the Book: "You have to promise that you won't fall in love with me." -Jamie Sullivan.
My thoughts and opinion: I made a mistake. I read this book without having a box of tissues by my side. As always, Nicholas Sparks amazes me with another tearjerker. I had to admit that the beginning was a slow one, but I kept on reading and boy, am I glad I did. The whole story was very touching and the unique characters were wonderful in their own way.
Landon Carter didn't impress me at first because of his dislike toward theatre. (I love drama and acting and plays.) Also his attitude toward Jamie was, to be honest, rude and a sweet, kind girl like Jamie didn't deserve such treatment. However, because of the Christmas play (which I loved!) I started to like Landon much more. There are things I admire about him like how hard he tried to be a gentleman and what he did for the orphanage. So then, Landon became one of my favorite characters especially in the middle and towards the end.
Jamie was instantly my favorite because she's truly a good person and she really taught Landon (and me) how to live life, and forgive and forget. I thought Jamie was a really inspirational character and one that I'll never forget. I really loved her and Landon together and I loved how much they've been through together. Their love is so powerful that it doesn't die.
I'm pretty sure that I did not dislike any characters. I mean maybe there were some negative emotions toward one or two characters, but I thought the characters were too minor to even remember. I even grew fond of Mr. Hegbert, Jamie's dad because although he may seem like a grumpy, old man, he's really just a very caring father who loves his only daughter.
Overall, I loved this book and its characters. The world could really use a Jamie Sullivan or two. I cried, I laughed, and I smiled. There is no doubt that this book is definitely one to remember.
