Books | Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

I finished reading Safe Haven yesterday and I must say, it has become a favorite. {ééééé} I love that most, if not all, of Sparks' books take place in North Carolina, and the location he used in this book is Southport, NC. I might just have to make a day trip there someday, it looks and sounds beautiful. 

I love Alex and Katie's characters. What I love about Alex is that he is a SuperDad lol and a good man. What's not to like about that?! Katie's character made me feel a lot of empathy for her. She was very well written and I love that she went from being fragile to finding her strength in herself to trust and love again. I also love the way that Alex wanted to protect her and the relationship that they had between them, I like that it is built on trust and friendship.

As I have said before, I am not one to really 'review' a book. So, that is all I am going to say about Safe Haven really, except for one more thing. I think we all need a Jo in our lives lol. 

I think that it is a must read because it is more than just a romance novel. It's a message about domestic violence and finding strength to rise above it.

As always, the book is way better than the movie. I don't think the movie really captured all of the emotion this book had. I'm not bashing the movie, because it was alright, but it is a pet peeve of mine when movie makers take a very well written story and leave out important things. {I know, I'm weird}

Safe Haven will be put on my bookshelf next to my other favorite Sparks books

{A Walk to Remember}

{The Lucky One}

{The Notebook}

{True Believer}

I don't really have a book lined up for my next read yet. I think I need to make a trip to Barnes&Noble

{aka Heaven}

Thank you for reading, I know it wasn't quite interesting, but I am more of a simple, descriptive type when it comes to books. If you want to know the story, read it yourself :D
