I read this novel because of my best friend when I was in high school. I haven't watched the movie in the big screen because I was very young that time and I don't really know it. My best friend let me borrow her book and she told me that the story is very inspiring. Then i brought her book at home and started reading it two days after she gave it to me. I'm really not fond of reading but this novel really struck my heart.
When I started reading it, I thought that it is just the typical story of a girl and a boy. Landon was a popular guy and Jamie was a quiet, bookish girl. Yes it's very usual in a story that something will happen then they will then fall in love with each other, but in this story there is a twist and it's kinda unbelievable but I've read that this story is based on real life. It was very touching. My perception about life when I was in high school was that happily ever after is not real. It's just for fairy tales. But this story made my life. When Jamie told Landon that she has a leukemia, Landon still pursue their relationship and fulfilled Jamie's dream, to get married on the chapel where her parents got married. After that, Jamie died. What's the happy ending there? Landon himself became a better person through Jamie's memory, he achieved the goals that he had set out to do, like what Jamie did.
Love conquers all. Eventhough how hopeless you are, you will still be blessed without you knowing it. Jamie was the last girl on his mind. He will never want Jamie he insisted. But with that instance that he really need Jamie's help for his practice for his play, that made way for them to have feelings for them both. And when they already have their relationship and when Landon knew that Jamie has cancer, still they fight for their love for each other.
I've learned that inspiration is very important in our lives. It can change our lives and we can be a better person. but changes comes from our heart. You cannot change if you don't really want to. Love do a lot of things in you life. If you are in love, you will be very happy.
