One Day


One Day, by David Nicholls, is the best romantic-comedy since Dear John! You're able to follow the journey of two lovers: Emma and Dexter. Nicholls's writing is detailed and helps you really picture the relationship between the two. If you liked Dear John, you'll love One Day. It'll make you want to keep flipping the page!

Sundays at Tiffany's

James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's is a mix of reality and fantasy. It's a love story about a full-grown woman whose imaginary friend when she was little just suddenly appeared in reality. It's a story about love, motherhood and letting go. I loved this book, but it is not a typical James Patterson book. His style of writing is present but the theme is unusual.

Jane Eyre

Orphan Jane Eyre is plain, quiet, and reserved on the surface. But the book entitled with her name, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, takes the characterization of Jane and her quest for happiness beyond the surface. She faces hardships at every stage of life: her aunt and benefactress is verbally abusive, her only friend at school dies in her arms, and once she becomes a governess the man she loves toys with her affections before showing his true feelings. Written from Jane's perspective in the formal style of 19th century England, Jane Eyre is a highly entertaining read which I would recommend for both lovers and haters of the classics.

The Time Traveler's Wife


The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger, has quickly become one of my favorite books. The story about Clare and Henry and their difficult and yet so sweet relationship is one that you just can't stop reading. Why is their relationship so difficult? Because Henry has a condition where he randomly disappears and travels to another time and place. It is also a unique story because it is told from Clare and Henry's alternate perspectives. This is a great book for anyone who wants to read something unlike anything they've ever read before.

The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger, is about the lives of Henry DeTamble, a time traveler, and his wife Clare Abshire. Audrey Niffeneger follows the life course of Clare and uses Clare and Henry's two different perspectives to portray to the readers their struggles with their unusual life patterns and their emotional developments. The author's descriptive writing style gives the readers an opportunity to experience the life of a time traveler, and makes the readers question the presence of fate in life and the authenticity of reality.

The Time Traveler's Wife is a wonderful romantic novel. It is about a man and a woman that struggle through their timeless love. The writing style is the two perspectives of Henry and Clare. They meet each other at different ages which lets you see the different thoughts that they have throughout the book. It's a long read, but extremely worth it! Read it!
