In this short and sad love story we follow Landon who is sort of the bad boy type and the popular guy type. So as homecoming dance nears he finds himself without a date, and the only “decent” girl he could think of is Jamie Sullivan, the girl with a cardigan and a bun and always the bible in hand. She kindly accepts his offer for the dance. However, she makes him promise not to fall in love with her. Of course, like a sudden wave of feeling, he did.

Just not that I watched the movie before the book and I cried while watching it, but not while reading it. I did still feel sadness and it was just sweet overall. The love in this book is the kind of love that creeps onto you, the molasses love that runs so slowly but is so thick and sweet that you can’t help but get a sting at the back of your throat after. I love Jamie. In school I normally am shy to be seen reading a book while everyone is on their phones, but I think I should now because of her. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter. But back to the book, I loved it so much.
