Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

In Safe Haven, a mid-twenty-year-old woman named Katie moves to small town Southport, North Carolina.  She moved there because she wants to have a fresh start.  She wants to forget her past and move on.  But Katie is so afraid of her past that it is almost impossible for her to move on.  She doesn't have much money and tries to lay low.  She is a waitress and lives in a very small home.  She is constantly paranoid about her past coming back until she meets a widowed father named Alex.  Alex owns the convenient store that Katie shops at.  Alex has two kids, Kristen and Josh.  They were very young when their mother died and don't remember much about her.  Kristen loves Katie and clings to her.  Katie becomes a friend of the family until eventually her and Alex fall in love.  Their love for eachother becomes dangerous as Katie's past catches up with her.  I loved this book!  I recommend this book to every single girl in the entire world!  It is a perfect romantic story with a lot of excitement!  During the whole book, you're wondering what her past really is and what will happen because of it.  My favorite part of the book is the last few pages.  It really makes you want to cry.  I don't think there was one part of this book I don't like.  The movie just came out on Valentine's Day and I am so excited to go see it!  If you have seen the movie or read the book, what did you think of it?
