On April 20th, girls everywhere got another love story from Nicholas Sparks in the form of his seventh book turned movie, "The Lucky One", starring Zac Efron.
The book was published in 2008 and has been in the hearts of people ever since.
Sparks writes another war/solider story, aside from Dear John. The novel surrounds Logan, a US Marine who while fighting in Iraq, finds a picture of a beautiful, young woman in the sand, with combat going on around him.
On the back of the photograph, the words "Keep Safe" are written.
After escaping death a few times while he held possession of the picture, Logan believes that this photograph is a good luck charm. He believes that there is a reason he has found it and that it is meant to protect him.
He feels this longing connection to the woman and wants to thank her for keeping him safe.
Logan travels across the country to find this woman and with some luck, finds her in North Carolina.
The book deals with the relationship that blooms with Logan and Elizabeth, the woman in the picture, and how he keeps the secret from her.
The book's message is about fate and destiny, which I love. It shows that there is a purpose for everything that happens in life, there is a deeper meaning for all that occurs.
In true Sparks fashion, the book is filled with trials and tribulations of their growing relationship and relationships that are already established, between Elizabeth and her son, her ex husband, and her mother.
Also, there are twists and turns, things you couldn't see coming from a mile away, sub plots and endings that were so shocking and sad that you couldn't help but shed a tear.
This is another remarkable love story from Nicholas Sparks. He never fails to amaze and even though some parts are cheesy and unrealistic, it gives readers a chance to escape and fantasize about their own love story.
