The Lucky One is a book written by Nicholas Sparks, and as cliche as it is for him to be one of my favorite authors, I truly love the way he writes and the passionate and touching love stories that he brings to life. This particular book is actually coming out as a movie on April 20th starring Zac Efron (YUM!), which was one of the main reasons I chose to purchase this book with my Barnes and Noble gift card that I received for Christmas. It is about a soldier who survives over 9 bombings in the war in Iraq all because of stumbling upon a picture of a beautiful woman, a picture which has served him as a lucky charm. Once he returns home from the war, a series of events helps this man to decide that he should go out and find this woman and somehow try to repay her for what her photograph has done for him. This book is their story.
I absolutely LOVED this book, I read it from cover to cover in three days. I know you are probably wondering how on earth a college student with 15.5 credits, a part time job, and an active social life had the time to do this. To tell you the truth, I most likely should not have done this. However, it was totally and completely worth it, I simply could not put this book down. I would definitely recommend this book to any of the girl cousins, but probably the older ones like Chelsea, Karly, and Brenn. Not to say that none of the boy cousins will like this novel, but it is a bit mushy and not a very masculine read.
