Currently, I'm reading Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. It's a beautiful and heartbreaking love story all throughout. There are many ups and downs throughout the book. Now, the plot line is one of the most surprising I've ever read / heard of! Sparks decided to take a very unique route in the romantic novel.
I think the author (SPOILER ALERT) wrote this work to show people that in reality, not all love ends in happily ever after. I think thematically he wants to show us all that the loves in stories sometimes are only stories. We seem to think as kids 'Ooh I want a love like theirs!' while watching a movie or reading a book, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I think he doesn't want everyone to get their hope up too high, because some do end up like John, where his wife found another husband while he was gone. Love is different than is portrayed behind movie screens and hardcovers. We need to accept that, and Nicholas Sparks approves of this message.
