Title: Lots of mush & gush
Review: I found the story engaging, but not very believable. These 2 people are portrayed as too "perfect." Maybe I'm cynical, but I got tired of all the "mush & gush." He was perfect, she was perfect, their children were perfect, their home was perfect, their lifestyle was perfect, their faces & bodies were perfect, their relationship was perfect... Whew! Give me a break. I closed the book dazed & confused. It seemed like the story just stopped. It didn't end. I've concluded that the narrator died at that moment, but that's not so according to my friends. My book club is in a heated debate over this. This debate has been the most interesting part of reading this book... wondering what on earth Nicholas Sparks is describing there at the end - death or new life? I reread it several times looking for the answer, but I'm still at a loss. Perhaps THAT is what Sparks intended? To keep us guessing & wondering & drawing our own conclusions???
Is the review positive or negative?
