A review by dowryofbooks
The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

3.0

Landing on three stars for this because if you're here for a heartbreaking father/daughter story that will have you crying uncontrollably- it's fantastic. But when it comes to the romance, it falls short. I'll admit I'm a little biased because I grew up watching, loving, and crying over this movie. The romance is less believable and insta-lovey in the book which should be the complete opposite, there should be way more development and emotion. Ronnie and Will interact a few times and are in love with each other after a few days. Then jump to the end of summer when all of the sad stuff starts happening. With the romance being the main plot point for over half the book I really just can't justify rating this any higher.

Props to Sparks though, because I haven't cried this hard since I read TFiOS.
