  rating: 3 of 5 stars<br/>I read this book right after I read Twilight because I was on a romance kick (very rare, I promise) and I couldn't get my hands on New Moon.  At first I was worried it was going to be lame because it makes it seem like it's going to be another story about what a jerk the main guy is and how he's neglecting his wife.  However, I really liked the way the author made Wilson not a bad guy, but a good guy who just doesn't know any better.  I usually don't like mushy books because it always seems like it's way overdone, but this book was really sweet.
<br/>
<br/>The one aspect I didn't really like was the author ties the book to his previous one (which I love) The Notebook.  I guess you could argue that it plays a big part in this story, but I really don't think so.  I kinda think the author tied the two together to get people to buy this second book.  However, I think it stands fine on it's own.
<br/>
<br/>Warning::  If you cry easily in books, this could get you to tear up.  Plus, if you are one of those girls who always hopes your husband were a hopeless romantic, but honestly, he never has been so chances are he never will be, don't read this book.  Well, I take that back.  Read it if you can look at it as sort of a guide on things YOU can do yourself FOR your husband.  It made me want to be a lot nicer to JD.

I started that book but never finished it because I got too busy but I think I'll have to start reading it again.
