The book that I read was called Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. I think Nicholas Sparks wrote this book because he wanted to create another love story for his readers to read and to give his readers a book that was somewhat different from his last books. From reading Nicholas Sparks’ books in the past‚ you know the books are fiction but some part of you will think that the story is real and can happen in real life because he is so detailed about what he writes. The author’s purpose of this book is
