The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is known as one of the best romance novels of our time. It starts off in South Carolina during the 1940's as Noah Calhoun is reflecting upon his past and the biggest regret of his life- letting the love of his life, Allie Hamilton, slip away from him twenty years ago that summer they spent together. Allie is from a wealthy, respectable family in the south and Noah thinks he has lost her for good because Allie's family does not approve of the relationship when they find out Noah is only a simple small-town country boy who cannot support her. Noah remembers a very important promise he made to Allie that summer, and is then convinced that if he follows through with the promise, she would come back to him through fate. Once Allie discovers that Noah has fulfilled his promise she returns to South Carolina to rekindle their love. Allie then has to make the choice of who to marry- her first love or a respectable man who can support her. Throughout the entire novel, Noah has been reading this story to his wife who has dementia, in hope that one day she will remember their love story and she will come back to him. I definitely recommend this for people who are into romance because it is the best romance novel out there.
