Experience the unforgettable, heartbreaking love story set in post-World War II North Carolina about a young socialite and the boy who once stole her heart -- coming to Broadway as a musical in February 2024.  
 
Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story -- it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again . . .

At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle . . .

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A classic tale of love."―Christian Science Monitor

"A one-night read . . . If you are in need of a good cry, The Notebook is absolutely the right book."―USA Today

"The lyrical beauty of this touching love story . . . will captivate the heart of every reader."―Denver Rocky Mountain News

"A more romantic testament to love's enduring miracle than Robert James Waller's TheBridges of Madison County."―Library Journal

From the Back Cover

With over 6 million copies in print of his first two New York Times bestsellers, THE NOTEBOOK and MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, Nicholas Sparks has become one of the world's most beloved storytellers...and one whose poignant tales renew our faith in the lasting power of true love.

At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle...

I read this book because it reminded me of the time I saw the movie with my three daughters. I never intended to see the movie but it’s hard to say no to my daughters. The movie was beautiful and the book even more so. If you want to know what love is and should be, we should all aspire to be Noah and Allie.

I am reading this again for the third time although I haven’t read it in a long time. The story very good and I really like Nicholas Sparks. My only complaint is that it was only available in píxeles book size so it is small. I prefer the slightly larger format where you can open the book all the way. However, it doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a good story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cliched but still an interesting read with emotional moments
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

I know that it's a cliche to say that the book is better than the movie, but it's true for this. The book is just far better than the movie. For one, Noah and Allie are much better people in this than they are in the film. And interestingly, the entire book takes place either at the moment when Allie comes back to see Noah or when Noah is reading the story to Allie. The stuff about their past was original material for the movie, in order to make it longer.

I said in that headlight that this is a cliched book, and it is, but I don't think that's a bad thing (mostly). It's a very simple book and the characters themselves are simple. I think it helps this way because it makes the characters easier to get into and understand. Plus, people in general can be simple.

That being said, there's not a whole lot of depth when it comes to this story. While the movie tried to make it more complex, it did so at the expense of making the relationship toxic. Here, it's a lot simpler and straight to the point.

It's hard to review this story without spoiling it, which sounds stupid as many people are aware of this story and may have already seen the movie, but I like to be save about it. It's a simple story about two long lost lovers finding their way back to each other. If you're fine with that, you'll most likely enjoy it. If you're looking for something more complex, you won't find it.

I give this book a rating of 5/10.
