The Last Song

Sorry I haven't posted any books in a while. I've been busy spending all my free time reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. This book is as real as it gets, there is no fairy tale ending, no lies about love, sincere and heartfelt life is unfair. If your hoping for chick flick type of book this isn't it.

The Last Song is about a misunderstood seventeen year old New Yorker Ronnie. Shes been in trouble and hasn't always made the right choices, nobody seems to understand her. He parents split up three years ago and she has not talked to her father since. When her mom ships her off to stay with him by the beach for the summer she is anything but happy. Then she finds Will. He's not the type of boy who she sees herself with, but he understands her. The Last Song is summer full of love, a summer full of lies, a summer of surprises, happiness and disappointment but most of all its a summer of change. Throughout the summer Ronnie learns about herself and who she wants to be, she grows in ways she never thought she would. Nicholas Spark is a beautiful writer and knows how to weave your emotions into the feelings of each character. Your heart will break and rip and tear into shreds and you will suffer as though the pain was specifically inflicted on you. This is really a story you won't want to forget.
