Not really my type. I usually prefer something completely tragic or totally rom-com. When I knew that Sam's dirty little secret is 'just' like that, honestly I'm a bit disappointed. But I'm a fan of childhood friends-be-couple type of relationship. So I rooted Brendan and Jennifer to be together and thank God they are!
Overall I think this is the first and last time I read James Patterson's books, though. They are good. Just not my cup of tea.

The beginning was confusing when 3 characters were introduced consecutively, I had to reread to determine who was who. While wildly unrealistic and predictable, I quite enjoyed this book. I don’t believe I have ever read this book but it does seem oddly familiar to another book I have read previously.

A fun read. A bit campy at points but still enjoyable. I also liked the idea behind the book.

I thought this was a really nice story. I read it in one sitting, but it was sooo sad. Make sure you have a box of tissues! The setting (Lake Geneva) sounded beautiful. The only problem I had with this book was that it seemed a little rushed. I felt there could have been so much more as far as the actual letters to Jennifer. I figured that'd be the majority of the book, but Sam's story was only a small part.
Regardless, it was sweet, and it definitely has been drilled into my head that Jennifer is "the most beautiful girl in the world"...(it got a bit old after a while). Anyway, aside from the few small downfalls this book has, I do recommend it. It's a great summer story.
