Book Recomendation: "Safe Haven"


Safe Haven is about a woman named Katie who is married to an abusive man, Kevin, and doesn't know what to do.  She has tired to escape multiple times, but each time he will hunt her down and bring her home and beat her.  Katie finally comes up with a master plan to escape from Kevin and she runs away to Southport, a small town in North Carolina. She meets a man named Alex and his kids, Kristen and Josh. She begins to fall in love with whole family but in the back of her mind she knows Kevin is looking for her... but she was more worried about whether he would actually find her or not.
I highly recommend the book Safe Haven to anyone who likes realistic fiction.  This book was the most suspenseful book I have ever read, it was really hard to put down.  I find suspense very important in a book because without it there is nothing that motivates me to keep reading.  Also Nicholas Sparks leaves you with a lot of foreshadowing which makes you question and predict what is going to happen next, which makes you an active reader. I think that one of the best features this book has to offer is that it is told in many different point of views which lets you know what everyone is thinking and doing in the book.

    1. I like both the movie and the book for different reasons! Although the book and movie are very similar,there are a lot more details in the book.
