Mushy Stuff
I'm feeling mushy today. I just finished reading Nicholas Sparks' "The Wedding". I thought love stories were always written by women. This book intrigued me because I heard some friends talking about how good it is. Needless to say my friends are as mushy as I am.... :)
This book revolved around a man whose marriage spanned for 30 years until he one day realized that his wife is almost about ready to leave him. He has spent years prioritizing his career over his family. Though his love for his wife never changed through the years, he didn't know how to show it. With this realization, he made it a resolve to court his wife again in order to regain the old feelings back. How he did it is the meat of the story. The ending is oh-so-touching - tugging to my heart! I was in the bus reading the part where he wrote a love letter to his wife and it kept me sniffling. I consider it a good love story when it brings tears to my eyes.
I'd truly recommend this as a must read for romantics like me.... :)
Sigh, I wish hubz is here so I can snuggle with him. There's no better way to read a love story than to have that special someone beside you whom you can hug.

I haven't read The wedding yet, but I do read Nicholas Sparks novels and like you whenever I read his books I feel mushy too. I already watched 'message in a bottle' and 'a walk to remember' but when I read the novels it still makes me cry...
Mickee - Nicholas Sparks is my favorite novel, starting from The Notebook on. I don't think the movie did justice to the book at all. I love all of his books - and The Wedding I believe is connected to The Notebook although I haven't read that one yet. My favorite so far is The Rescue. Read it - it's so heartwarming!
Hi Day, I've seen Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember also. In fact, I bought the DVD of A Walk to Remember pa nga 'coz I was so in love with that story. Di ko alam na Nicholas Sparks pala yun.... :)
Hi Josephine, in The Wedding, they kept referring to what happened on The Notebook, so I have a vague idea of what that novel is about. I'm going to read that next - after The Last Juror (John Grisham) and When the Elephants Dance (Tess Uriza Holthe) - a filipina author. Will let you know how I like Tess' novel. Supposedly, it talks about WWII, and tackles some of our famous folklores... :) Medyo serious nga lang.
