Lady A (Nicholas Sparks fan) OC: …sweet story. :44
“For me personally, I’m such a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks as an author and then the movies that have been made from his novels. So, it was really, really special, especially because the leading male role in the movie is James Marsden, who has a really sweet role in The Notebook, which is my personal favorite of Nicholas Sparks’ books, and there’s always it seems like, a book of his being turned into a film. So, it’s just a big machine that we were kind of asked to be a part of, and to be able to write specifically for one thing and to kind of put ourselves in this story, because we always try to write from our own personal experience, was really cool. It’s a really special, sweet story.”
