As per the recommendation from my sister-in-law, I borrowed both from her: the movie and the book. She recommended that I watch the movie first, then read the book. I watched the movie about half a year ago. Pretty good story, the characters were wonderful, and I balled my head off.

I can never figure out why Sparks books sell so well. They are such fluff. At least they're short.
