In my opinion, giving birth is less tiring than finishing this book.

Writing a book requires a great deal of effort, concentration, and creativity. It involves countless hours of research, planning, writing, editing, and revising. One has to constantly struggle with finding the right words, organizing the thoughts, and making the content engaging and coherent.

On the other hand, while giving birth is a physically demanding and painful experience, it is a natural process that the body is designed to go through. Once the baby is born, there is a sense of relief and joy that comes with it.

Of course, both experiences are unique and cannot be compared in a simple way. But for me, at this moment, the thought of completing this book seems more daunting than the idea of giving birth.

Sweet

Sweet is a taste that is loved by many. It can bring a sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

When we eat something sweet, such as candy, cake, or ice cream, our taste buds are stimulated, and our brains release dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel good.

Sweet can also have other meanings. It can describe a person's personality or behavior. For example, we might say that someone has a sweet disposition or is a sweet person.

In addition, sweet can be used to describe a smell or a sound. A sweet-smelling flower or a sweet melody can both be very pleasing to the senses.

Overall, sweet is a wonderful and multi-faceted concept that can bring joy and happiness to our lives in many different ways.

I had already read a book by James Patterson before, but it was a police procedural and this report was a romance, so I decided to take a chance. And I don't regret it at all. I absolutely love romances! I think I waited way too long to read this one, but as soon as I started, I just couldn't stop.

It was such a captivating story that pulled me in from the very beginning. The characters were well-developed and their emotions felt so real. I found myself completely invested in their relationship and rooting for them to overcome all the obstacles in their way.

The writing style was also very engaging, making it easy for me to get lost in the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance.

I truly had a great time reading this story. It was so engaging and captivating that I found myself completely immersed in it from start to finish.

The author's writing style is simply amazing. He has this unique ability to bring the characters to life and make the story unfold in the most interesting and exciting way.

Now that I've finished this book, I can't wait to get my hands on another one of his works. I'm sure it will be just as good, if not better.

I highly recommend this author to anyone who loves a good read. You won't be disappointed!

It was extremely evident while perusing this book that it was penned by an individual who was elderly and had done so over 18 years ago. The main character, who is supposed to be a 35-year-old, simply does not conform to that demographic in any way. In fact, her personality bore a striking resemblance to that of my grandmother. This was quite ironic considering she was the granddaughter in the story. At one point, she even refers to herself as a “spinster,” which brought a smile to my face.

At first, it was a little confusing. I had initially thought that Sam was a man. However, as I delved deeper into the story, I realized that my assumption was incorrect.

Despite this initial confusion, I found the book to be truly captivating. It was a good read that managed to draw me in and keep my attention from start to finish.

Nevertheless, it was also a very sad book. The events and the emotions portrayed within its pages tugged at my heartstrings and left me with a sense of melancholy.

Overall, it was a book that had a profound impact on me. It made me think, feel, and experience a range of emotions that I will not soon forget.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story, even if it comes with a heavy dose of sadness.

Oh my god!! I just can't believe I just read this within 3 hours... But I just didn't want it to get over so fast... It just made me sad but the happiness took over.

How do you feel when the only person you shared everything with is ill!??... You'll feel sad and lonely... Isn't that how life is??... It takes us through so much and then it just leaves us alone to tend with our own sorrows.

Jennifer, but I'll call her Jenny... That's much better. She's grieving the loss of her beloved Danny and their little 'peanut' which she miscarried. All she has with her are nightmares about him and a wrinkled letter from him. She talks her heart out to only one person and that's her grandma, Sam (Samantha) as she calls her.

And how do you feel when that only person you have is in a coma... Sam leaves some letters for Jenny to read. Jenny can't believe it's happening to her. And then she visits Sam every day in the hospital and talks with her. She also meets her childhood friend, Brendan, who used to call her Scout.

Jenny starts her journey through Sam's letters and is shocked by her grandma's confessions. The secrets are revealed one by one, which are disturbing but true. She learns about Sam's mystery man.

And there's a chemistry between Brendan and Jenny which soon blossoms into love. But Brendan has a cancer which can't be cured or so he says. There's a major surgery to be done but the chances are he'll be paralyzed or may never make it back. Anyway, he goes with it.

And then Sam recovers from her coma and they move back to their home. And later Brendan is back too, happy with Jenny. And there they meet Sam's mystery man and they just go 'Wow' when they see him... And I won't say who that is. You better find out for yourself.

As Sam says, “Life is a great big canvas. Throw all the paint you can at it.” I like that thought. More importantly, I try to live by it as much as I can.

Life is not what we expect but what we make of it... I'll recommend this book, "Sam's Letters to Jennifer" by James Patterson, which is much better than I thought. It just took my heart away... I think this review has become too long.

"O Amor nunca morre."


I believe that very often the opinion about a book depends on our own life experience.


This book talks about love, mainly the unconditional love between the grandmother, Sam, and the granddaughter, Jennifer.


I also had a grandmother whom I loved very much, or rather, whom I love very much (because love never dies), and I also know the feeling of seizing today, of trying to be happy TODAY and setting aside the fear of the future.


Jennifer closed herself off to love after losing her husband prematurely, and the grandmother decided, through letters, to reveal great secrets of her past, her true love story, so that Jennifer would understand that it is always worth loving despite the suffering, that she must open her heart and allow herself to love, that there is nothing more fulfilling than true love. And love doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be true!


Love is a powerful force that can overcome all obstacles. It gives us the strength to face the challenges of life and the courage to open our hearts to new experiences. In this book, we see how the love between Sam and Jennifer helps them both to heal and grow.


The story also reminds us that we should not be afraid to love, even if we have been hurt in the past. True love is worth the risk, and it can bring us more joy and fulfillment than we ever thought possible.


Overall, this book is a beautiful and inspiring story about the power of love. It made me reflect on my own relationships and reminded me of the importance of珍惜 the ones we love.

It was, to be honest, just an okay read.

The book seems to be a compilation of every imaginable tragedy. There's the heart-wrenching spousal death, the scary hospitalization, the disturbing abuse, the painful loss of loved ones, the devastating miscarriages, the life-threatening cancer, and even the sorrowful loss of pets.

I did find it kind of sweet that the grandma wrote letters to her granddaughter. However, it felt like all of this could have been more effectively conveyed in person within a day or so.

Moreover, the ending was extremely rushed. It seemed as if the author just wanted to quickly wrap up the story without giving it the proper time and attention it deserved. This left me with a sense of dissatisfaction and a feeling that the full potential of the story wasn't realized.

Overall, while the book had its moments, it ultimately fell short in several aspects.

I really enjoyed this book. It was my first read of a readathon with my friends, and I truly felt that it was an excellent one to commence with.

I discovered it to be effortlessly readable. Once I picked it up, I simply didn't desire to put it down. The story was not only wholesome and uplifting but also managed to keep me guessing throughout. I relished the style in which it was written. The author centered the story around a series of personal letters to the main character, Jennifer, from her grandmother, Sam.

This was indeed a good read, and I would most definitely recommend it to a friend. It has that special charm that can engage readers and make them lose themselves in the story. Whether you're looking for a heartwarming tale or a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this one has it all. I'm already looking forward to reading more books in the same vein.

I chanced upon this book when I was in desperate need of something to read and it happened to be easily accessible on Overdrive.

Moreover, I desired something light and effortless as I had just completed reading "The Goldfinch" and "The Nightingale", and my fragile heart could not bear any more heaviness.

I probably ought to have done a bit more research because it was anything but light, yet it was an extremely easy read. It was a classic instance of judging a book by its cover, or in my case, its title.

The relationship between Jennifer and Sam was truly beautiful. Sam's letters were remarkable, sometimes sorrowful, and filled with unexpected details.

This is definitely not a book that typifies my overall taste or style, but it was agreeable enough. It earns a solid three stars for being a decent book.

All in all, it was an okay read that served its purpose at that particular moment.
