The introduction to the notebook is very good. I like how they give you detailed background information about Allie and Noah's relationship but its short and to the point. Allie and Noah had a summer romance when she was 15 and he was 17. They had an unmeasurable kind of love for eachother. Then when the summer ended they moved on with their lives. Now Allie has found a new man and is engaged. Noah has not found someone to love. What is explained in the intro is the idea of a ghost. The ghost for Noah is reallly him thinking about all his memories with Allie. One of the themes that we discussed, is that no matter how far apart you are if it's true love it will alwasy bring you back together. I think that is a very interesting theme and i believe that it is true. I am excited to read more and see if their love brings them back together.
