Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

I've been writing a lot about my personal life and internal thoughts. This post is something different because  I like to "broaden my horizons."

  

I finished reading "Safe Haven", by Nicholas Sparks about two weeks ago. It was one of those random target pick ups. I love when I get a book randomly and actually like it. That's the way it seems to work. The last time I went to Barns and Nobel to buy a book I picked one out that I couldn't finish (boring). "Save Haven" is about a young lady, Katie, who moved into a small east-coast beach town. She kept to herself because she was running away from a nightmare of a life; her husband was abusive. She got a job as a waitress in Southport, the small beach town she moved to. I wasn't able to relate to being abused but being a hopeless romantic, I related to the crux of the story. I don't want to give the whole plot away because that would be pointless but Katie finds love unexpectedly after escaping her past. I think this book was cathartic for me for many reasons. (ok here goes the personal stuff, oh well). This love story let me live out something that I don't have in my life right now, a relationship. Even though I'm not completely sure if I want one right now it's always nice to live vicariously through someone or something else. That's what books are for, right?
