Falling in love, suspense, betrayal, adventure, learning to let go, figuring out who you really are, and learning who to trust & forgive are just a few things in this book. If this is what you’re into when you look for a good book then I recommend you reading "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. In the book, a girl named Veronica "Ronnie" Miller has her life turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia. She is forced to live with her father for a summer and is very upset with the idea. She has to face her father who abandoned them, and she’s not willing to forgive him. Her little brother, Jonah, on the other hand is very happy to spend time with their dad and help on a stained glass window his dad was working on for a church that had recently been burned down.Ronnie spent most of her time out of the house because her dad would constantly play the piano wich brought back memories of when she too, enjoyed playing the piano. Ronnie doesn’t give into speaking to her faher or having anything to do with him and soon finds herself at a local carnival watching a volleyball game. She soon meets a boy named, Will, who was on one of the volleyball teams with his friend.He went for a serve and accidently dropped soda on her. She was upset and walked away furiously. She meets another new face, Blaze, who introduces her to her boyfriend Marcus who made a living on giving performances using fire balls and abused Blaze.They were homeless but always got into trouble. She soon finds herself bumping into Will again at a local shop where he volunteered at.She soon found herself becoming attracted to Will and didnt know why. Will didnt know her but also was a little confused on how he too was slowly falling in love with her. Marcus wasn’t happy with this because he to liked Ronnie, he soon figures a plan to keep her away from Will and with the help from blaze helps frame Ronnie for burglary. Facing many obstacles she finds herself overcoming them and even learning to forgive her father but by that time it was too late. I really enjoyed reading the book and i could not put it down. I liked how it showed the different perspectives of the people in the book so it really made me connect with the characters. I would recommend this to everyone.
