These tearjerking flicks leave even adults needing a tissue by the time the credits start to roll.

Here are things only adults notice in Nicholas Sparks movies.

That’s definitely a thing that happens in every relationship, right?

The Notebook

The two even famously recreated the oft-referencedrain-soaked kiss scenefrom the film at the2005 MTV Movie Awards.

Don’t try this at home, kids.

According to psychotherapist Gurpreet Singh, the overly romanticized relationship depicted inThe Notebookis hardly based in reality.

The Notebook

“Noah restores a house for Allie.

He writes letter after letter waiting for her.

They die holding hands,” Singh toldTime Out.

The Notebook

“If you believe in [that] you start to think: I shouldn’t settle for less.

But most average couples are nothing like that.

We are humans, we are fallible.

A Walk to Remeber

Love is imperfect because we are.”

Where was the walk to remember in A Walk to Remember?

Whereisthis mysterious walk, and why is it noteworthy?

The Longest Ride

In every way, a walk to remember."

Apparently, this wasn’t exactly a plot point to remember.

Why did Ira and Ruth in The Longest Ride write so many letters?

The Longest Ride

Why didn’t they just meet up and talk?

Maybe we should pen a note to Sparks and ask.

Money is the root of all… love?

Safe Haven

Nowthat’ssomething to write to your neighbor about!

Cut to one year later, and suddenly the once-estranged Luke and Sophia are now husband and wife.

What kind of ghost is Jo in Safe Haven?

The Best of Me

Aren’t ghosts usually a bit more stealthy?

Do snakes not exist in The Best of Me?

Is anyone else starting to think that Sparks delights in our misery?

The Best of Me

Honestly, would it even be a Sparks film if a letter didn’t make an appearance?

We’re pretty sure this means it qualifies as an edge-of-your-seat thriller.

If he’s such a miserable person, why did she even marry him in the first place?

The Choice

Gabby’s boyfriend, Dr. Ryan McCarthy.

Are there any other doctors in Wilmington?

His anger issues don’t stop there, either.

Message in a Bottle

That’s just over an hour and a half.

To be clear, we don’t mean to dissThe Lucky One.

Though he provides a date for his return, Paul neither shows nor contacts Adrienne to reunite.

Dear John

Sparks, you’ve got some explaining to do.

That’s right the super competitive, incredibly expensive, Ivy League university.

Consider this our official request for a sequel The Last Song 2: The Ballad of Student Loans.
