Melanie Harding - The Last Song

The Last Song
Nicholas Sparks
463 pages (Read- all of 'em)
Rating: TEN!

Seventeen year old Ronnie is livin' the life in New York. School by day (if she feels like it), clubs by night. However a little slap of reality hits her when her mom sends her and her ten year old brother, Jonah, to live with their dad for the summer in Wrightsville Beach, NC.
Jonah can't wait to see his dad, Ronnie wants nothing to do with him. Ever since he walked out on them three years ago, she's hated him. The last thing she wants to do is spend the summer with him.
However after only a few days at the dreaded summer destination, Ronnie meets someone who she never would have expected herself to fall for. Even more unexpected; HE fell for HER! She soon realizes that maybe this summer won't be so bad after all. The rebellious Ronnie and dreamy Will represent the saying 'opposites attract.' From two polar opposite worlds, these two young lovers create their own.
But reality soon strikes a cord as the summers end comes closer. Will Ronnie ever mend things with her dad? Was there a deeper reason Ronnie and Jonah were sent to live with him for the summer?
I absolutely loved this book. Like most Nicholas Sparks books, it starts off fairly slow, then plunges into an emotionally gripping storyline. I'll be honest, I cried. But to me, that's a sign of a well written book, and Nicholas Sparks nailed it. I loved following Ronnie's feisty and rebellious thoughts. Anyone even slightly interested; read this book! And don't let the first couple chapters slow you down. I promise, it's amazing! So enjoy :)
