Dear John

by Nicholas Sparks

Dear John is a romance novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks released in 2007. Sparks took inspiration from the real-life story of his cousin Todd Vance who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The phrase “Dear John letter,” referring to a letter written to a man by his romantic partner to inform him that their relationship is over, was coined earlier, likely during World War II. The book made The New York Times Best Seller list in 2007.
