First of I'd just like to say I don't hate this book, nor do I love it.
Nicholas Sparks has shown through his story the choice that true love no longer is valued and has no meaning. He basically conveyed that a strong attraction towards the opposite gender can be referred to as love.
For instance, if I were to hang out with a single person for the entire weekend and have a strong attraction towards them because they were attractive I would not refer to it as love It can called a huge crush, or something along those lines but to love someone so quickly is supposedly impossible.
Gabby herself stated that she didn't know him yet she still declared this intimate love towards him. Um, Nicholas sparks please make some sense.
