The main character in this novel is John who decides to join the army after going through many meaningless jobs and feeling as though he has gotten nowhere in life. During one of his visits home to see his father he meets and falls in love with Savannah. They spend as much time together as they can while he is home but he inevitably has to go back to Germany where he is stationed. After many phone calls and letters they ultimately begin to drift apart. They have their share of fights and moments making up throughout the book. After John reenlists due to September 11th events, they both drift further and further apart and their lives begin to go down different paths.
I won't ruin the ending, but the book comes to a close in a very surprising way. Nothing that I would have ever expected and this is the only part of the book that I am disappointed in. The book really could have only ended in one of two ways and I have to say I don't think that I would have liked either way. I would have been much happier if Sparks went in an entirely different direction completely.
I am only rating this as a like due to the ending. If you have read it before, please vote in the upper right hand corner and let me know what you thought. Did you love it, like it, or hate it? Also, I am trying to find more books to read so if you have any suggestions for me, please let me know!!
