THEMES
The main and most important theme of this book is “Love Conquers All”. Throughout the entire book, Allie and Noah were faced with so many difficulties that they had to overcome. It was amazing that even after everything that they went through, their love only grew stronger and stronger for each other. They end up being together for the rest of their lives.

RATING
I give this book an 9 out of 10 because I rarely can read a book cover to cover, but I read all of this one. I enjoyed reading it. It was inspiring how Noah and Allie overcame all of the problems through it all and became together. It was also really creative since he was reading her the book that he wrote about their lives to her, trying to make her remember their past.

SOCIAL ISSUE
I chose alcohol abuse. In the book there is a time where Noah experiences alcohol abuse. He constantly is drinking alcohol during a time period. He later overcomes his drinking habits when Allie comes back.
Alcohol abuse is one the largest bad habits in our world today.
