Why Do We Love "The Notebook" When It’s Glorifying A Dysfunctional Relationship?
“The Notebook” is a favorite among many hopeless romantics. It started my love for the romance genre when I first saw the movie as a teenager, and I still love it today. However, I do view the story differently as an adult.

The Notebook tells the story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie’s (Rachel McAdams) romance as it starts in the 1940s and shows them as an elderly couple in the 21st century. The story is an emotional rollercoaster but often gets heat because it doesn’t portray a healthy romance.
