The book I'm still reading is Dear John. And yes, it is as romantic as ever. I can't explain how touching it is for me. I really like the character John. He is so understanding even though he's a soldier! Most guys like him probably don't understand how their girlfriend feels and aren't so aware of what to do to make her feel better. But John is so sweet that in his mind, he's always thinking of how Savannah feels. And I love how the author describes how John feels so ecstatic in certain moments. Plus, I liked it when John takes Savannah to old, shaggy places that are so intimate internally; such is the Shrimp Shack, the deserted ship, and the burger shop. There is absolutely no materialism in this love story but only true, genuine love.
When I read the part about John getting frusterated at Savannah for saying that his dad was mentally ill, I felt sad myself that those two were fighting. I just wished they would stop fighting but then, I knew later that this fight would really bring them even more closer after they made up. Sometimes, fighting can really bring two people more closer because it really clears up the mess that was piled up previously. This relates to me and my mom. After we had this huge fight, I knew that from then on, we really knew about each other and that we will try our hardest to avoid frusteration.
