The Guardian (Express Week #7)

Whale, it is day 7 of Express Week, so Express Week is almost over :/
The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks is good...but creepy.
Summary from http://nicholassparks.com/stories/the-guardian/


"Julie Barenson’s young husband left her two unexpected gifts before he died – a puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now, four years later, twenty-nine year-old Julie is far too young to have given up on love. She may be ready to risk caring for someone again. But who? Should it be Richard Franklin, the sophisticated, handsome engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband’s best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she’s had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by a chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire . . ."
Sounds awesome right? And it is... sorta. I mean its a decent book, but I was freaking out. Like it isn't a "scary novel" but holy cow... I was soooooo creeped out. It scared the tar out of me. brrrr. 
Okay so honestly, I think if creepy, realistic things don't bother you, I guess you could go for it... but if you're like me, I wouldn't read it.... hahahah!! Although I will admit, it kept me on the edge of my seat, but still BEWARE!! THE GUARDIAN WILL CREEP YOU OUT.
rate: PG13 FORSURE
GOOD OR GOODBYE? Eh decide for yourself
    It's not necessarily dirty.. but it's just so creepy...
NITTY GRITTY:
BEWARE I AM ABOUT TO SPOIL A PART, SO DON'T READ BELOW UNLESS YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT.
So the thing that creeped me out so much, was the Richard guy is a stalker. Not just your normal like clingy guy, but a highly dangerous guy who is mentally insane. But seems normal on the outside. Honestly, I was getting a stomach ache because I was so freaked.. yet Nicholas Sparks writes it so well that you just can't put it down. 
Also at the end, there is a violent part.... just sayin

THANKS FOR READING!! :)))
