Ok. So I liked The Notebook and when I saw this, I just couldn't say no...

From amazon.com:

Three years after divorcing her cheating husband, the single mother is vacationing on Cape Cod when she finds a bottle washed up on the shore. Inside, a message begins: "My Dearest Catherine, I miss you." Subsequent publication of the poignant missive in her column turns up two more letters, found by others, from the same mysterious writer, Garrett Blake. Piqued by his epistolary constancy, Theresa follows the trail to North Carolina, where she discovers that Garrett has been mourning his late wife for three years; writing the sea-borne messages is his only solace. Theresa also finds that Garrett just might be ready to love again... and that she might be the woman for him. There are few surprises here as we watch the couple learn to love in Catherine's slowly waning shadow. By the time they do, Sparks has proved that a man who romantically (and manually) pens missives to his lost lady love in the era of e-mail is a welcome hero in this fin-de-millennium fax-happy world.

Though this had little lulls (I wasn't particularly interested in the descriptions of the boat stuff), it is still a touching story. And though I told myself I would not cry, I did still get a little teary eyed when I read Garrett's last letter to Theresa.

Gosh, I sure wish someone would write me a romantic letter.

And even though I've heard the movie isn't very good, I'm still going to watch it. Kevin Costner always looks handsome....
