The Best of Me
Audiobooks make reading books fabulous.
Most recent book I finished is "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks.
By no means was it unique, or an entirely new love story. I think its a weird cross between The Notebook and the movie Return to Me. Either way, it was entertaining, and I finished it liking a few very interesting quotes:
“Everyone wanted to believe that endless love was possible. She'd believed in it once too, back when she was eighteen. But she knew that love was messy, just like life. It took turns that people couldn't foresee or even understand, leaving a long trail of regret in its wake. And almost always, those regrets led to the kinds of what if questions that could never be answered.”
“What the younger generation didn't understand was that the grass was greenest where it's watered..”
“Were all first loves like that? Somehow she doubted it; even now it struck her as being more real than anything she'd ever known. Sometimes it saddened her to think that she'd never experience that kind of feeling again, but then life had a way of stamping out that intensity of passion; she'd learned all too well that love wasn't always enough.”
