“The Notebook," she confesses in the new issue of Elle magazine. "That’s one that I wanted so badly."

"But there’s a million that get away," she adds. "We’re gluttons for punishment. It’s just rejection.”
Unfortunately, Jessica was beaten out by Rachel McAdams for the role, but Notebook fans probably can't picture it happening any other way.
As to whether or not her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake is back in her life, Jessica says, "A girl doesn’t kiss and tell.”
