The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks


The Last Song is much better than I expected.

It is an easy, entertaining read. It is an emotional story about love and coming of age.

I grew attached to the father-daughter relationship aspect of this novel because it is beautifully written.

There is a degree to predictability but it somehow works for this novel.


Grade: B+



Synopsis (B&N)

In the tradition of A Walk to Remember, this is a story of a teenage girl and her first encounter with heartbreak ?? and love.


Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside?down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.


The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels??first love, love between parents and children ?? that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.
