Before reading this book, I had already seen the movie so I knew what to expect and basically I knew what was going to happen, but I still wanted to read the book just because I always feel like the book would be better than the movie. But in this case I would have to say that I enjoyed watching the movie than reading the book.


Safe haven is about a woman named Katie, who is on the run from her past, she moves to a new town makes a new friend one is her neighbour Jo and the other is a shop owner called Alex and he has two children. As the story goes on Katie and Alex fall in love, but Katie hides her secrets from the past and eventually the past does catch up with her.

I found this book quite boring to read as there was too much detail where it was not needed. Such as when describing each characters day to day life and what they do from the minute they wake up is not something I want to read about, I want to read about the excitement in their lives and the adventures they get up to, I don’t want to read about boring things about getting up and having breakfast.

The only thing I liked about reading the book was that it each chapter was in the point of view of different characters and some characters chapters were more enjoyable to read then others.

I probably wouldn't read the books again but I would watch the movie.
