Book Review: Love Story
Love Story by Erich Segal:
Goodreads Summary:
Oliver Barrett IV, a wealthy jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law . . . Jenny Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued, working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe . . .
Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny are kindred spirits from vastly different worlds. Falling deeply and powerfully, their attraction to one another defies everything they have ever believed—as they share a passion far greater than anything they dreamed possible . . . and explore the wonder of a love that must end too soon.
One of the most adored novels of our time, this is the book that defined a generation—a story of uncompromising devotion, of life as it really is . . . and love that changes everything.
My Review:
3/5 Stars
Typical love story of 2 people from different worlds that fall in love and deal with life as it comes. Super quick read that will have you laughing and crying all on the same page. The bantering between Oliver and Jenny kept a smile on my face the whole time. The book is known for the infamous quote 'Love means never having to say you're sorry.' and several other very quotable lines.
It was very predictable and cheesy, but it is one of the best love stories of its time.
This book is apart of the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.
