Emma and Katie discuss the emotional impact and differences between the movie and book of The Notebook.

Yup. You read that right. Grab your tissues because this week Emma & Katie dive into their first Sparks: the 2004 classic The Notebook. Join them as they chat the moments that made them hyperventilate sob, why every 16 year old is insufferable and how the movie ending is compared to the book ending. Which line makes you cringe less: If you're a bird, I'm a bird or can our love make miracles? YOU decide!
