If I had to recommend this book to someone it would have to be Teens and Adults. This book is told from several perspectives and the main two are a teen and an adult. I would not recommend this book for younger kids because it has a certain maturity level about it.

This book takes place in Wrightsville Beach, NC. This book is about a girl named Ronnie who is forced to spend the summer with her dad, and her little brother. Ronnie at first despises her dad, after he left their family and moved away. Ronnie had always been an amazing piano player as well as her dad, but she refused to play after her dad left. After spending a couple days with her dad she starts to talk to him again and she finds herself not hating him. She meets a boy names Will who she thinks would be the last person she would end up with. Will finds Ronnie very interesting and they start to fall in love. Throughout the book many events happen sad, and lifechanging. Ronnie builds an amazing relationship with her dad again. Later in the story Ronnie, and her brother find out their dad has cancer and he only has a little bit longer to live. Ronnie stays by her dad side, and Will tries to stay by hers but they get seperated when will goes to school. Ronnie finds herself playing one Last Song before her dad passes. In the end of the book Nicholas Sparks creates a touching ending that will make you fall in love with his books!

I gave this book a 5 star rating. So far out of the many books I read this has to be my favorite. This books is full of everything you can think of. It is told from several perpectives so well! This book is an amazing story that Nicholas Sparks tells so well. I loved this book because I could connect with it so well. This book has great morals and principles. If you love touching, heartfelt, and romance this book is perfect!

"What did you wish for?" she asked, her voice a whisper. But he couldn't answer. Instead, he raised her hand and slipped his other arm around her back. He stared at her, knowing with certainty that he was falling in love. He pulled her close and kissed her beneath a blanket of stars, wondering how on earth he'd been lucky enough to find her.(pg. 202 The Last Song)

I read this passage again and again because just in the circumstances the two people are in the book, and how they end up together is amazing! I also had it underline in my book because I thought it was a super cute passage!
