Dear John

Yes, this is a love book... but it is a love book like no other. Trust me on this one. I've read hundreds of novels about two people destined to be together, but this one is by far the best.

This book is about a man called John, that meets a girl named Savannah and falls head over heels for her. Because he wasn't the exactly the best student in high school, he chooses a risky but fairly achievable job. He enrolls in the army, but spends half his days with Savannah, enchanted by her laugh and mesmerized by the sparkle in her eyes. Then comes along September 11, 2001, and the Twin Towers come pouring down. John is then urged to re-enlist again and serve his duty to his country... but doing that, means leaving Savannah all alone.

This book is unique. It's not one of those sappy books that ends with them getting married again and having 12 children and moving to - oh, I don't know - Spring Falls, to a grand mansion with a puppy. No. The ending startled me, actually, because I was expecting a happy ending, yet I didn't get that. But that's what I love about this book. You can't predict what's going to happen, so you can't just drop it when you're halfway through because you're sure of what is going to happen.

Do I recommend it? Yes, definitely. Pick it up on a rainy evening and fall into the abyss of broken promises and true warmth.
