The same thing happened when I started reading stories of Nancy Drew, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl detective to that of reading "A Walk To Remember". The former took place in the 60s (since I've read the later version of the books in spite of the original written in the 30s) while the later was in the 50s. I've envisioned them in my head as if they occured at least sometime in the late 80s to early 90s. I know. It does seem weird but it doesn't affect the way the story was told to me. Envisioning it as something contemporary was probably the best, anyway. At least for me.
There are dangers involved in solving cases but what I like about Nancy Drew from this book was the fact that she always go to where her curiosity leads her, especially if it was about the case that truly took her interest. The dangers were scary to deal with all the time, but she never let the fear got the best of her. Her optimism and intuition about the case that she wanted to shed light upon was both amazing and worrying. I couldn't held fearing for her life because of this even though her character was just fictional. But in the end, it gave her the thrill of an adventure that I know her detective heart was looking for.
Another thing I love about this is about the last part of the story, in which Nancy would wonder if she would encounter another case as thrilling as the last one she solved, only for the narrator of the story to actually give the title of the next story on one of the last few paragraphs as something similar to foreshadowing about what will happen next.
Till the next book comment, I guess. 😁✌️😁✌️
