The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks
READ: I was supposed to be meeting a friend, but I had 35 pages left. Need I tell you I was late? I finished the final pages and launched into the complete retelling of the tale to John. Sophia and Luke add a level of suspense and "cuteness". I can't help but imagine that Sparks needed to write in a couple young good looking parts for the screenplay. But it's Ira and Ruth who will make me return my library book and buy a copy for my own shelf. There's is a beautiful story that had me in tears and longing not for some other love, but to be better myself at loving. A sign of a great story. My only real complaint, and it's really more the thought of an egotistical girl who has yet to write her own book but feels entitled to advise on the books of others: The book could have ended a chapter or two earlier. When it comes to fiction, I prefer a few loose ends.
