The Ending of Dear John

Referring to my last post about this book, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book was no the way I imagined it to be. In my last post, I mentioned that the book had a typical love story and that it had a plot that was predictable. As I was reading the book, I thought that after John came back from the way, Savannah would still be waiting for him no matter how long he was away for. In comparison to the beginning of the book, I felt that they would be inseparable and would end up together no matter what. To my surprise, it was the opposite. They did not end up together though there were undeniably feelings still there when they met each other again. To my dismay, my expectations of this book having a fairytale ending was crushed when I found out Savannah was married to another man. John obviously still had feelings for her throughout the book and there was still an attraction between the two. I should have expected a sad ending though due to Nicholas Sparks' other book which also have a sad ending. Overall, I liked this book because of the surprises throughout.
