The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

5.0

Love, pain, sadness, tears, rebirth. These are all the words that come to my mind when I think about all the things The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks encompasses. These are the emotions that I felt as I read this book within 24 hours of buying it. It takes a great book to keep me interested in reading it enough to finish it in no more than a day. The Last Song will pull at your heart and make you want to experience the act of falling in love and understanding family.

The story revolves around a troubled girl, Veronica "Ronnie" Miller, spending the summer with her dad and little brother in North Carolina. Ever since her parents decided to get divorced, Ronnie has never been the same person. As a little girl, playing the piano was her favorite hobby, more so a talent that she shared with her father, but after the divorce, she isn't the same. As an angry and rebellious teen, Ronnie accidentally falls in love, experiences heartbreak, and is put back together again all within a few hundred pages. She doesn't know why she's spending the summer with her father that she has chosen to alienate, but she soon discovers the trip's true reason for her extended visit. A kind of mystery unfolds underneath the typical Sparks love story. It's not all about teenage love, but the bond between father and daughter.

Nicholas Sparks has once again demonstrated how love can both break hearts and simultaneously heal them. Take the time out to read the book and feel the love, experience the pain, endure the sadness, embrace the tears, and encounter the rebirth that each character undergoes, especially Ronnie. You'll only love Sparks that much more after finishing this book, already racing to pick up another.
