The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.

The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story of love on many levels—first love, love between parents and children — that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts...and heal them.

The Last Song was so amazing, such a good story! As much as I LOVE Nicholas Sparks, ever since reading The Notebook, I am cautious when I pick up his books because I'm not usually in the mood for a tear-jerker! Although this book will take you through a variety of emotions, I certainly didn't end up with an empty box of kleenex. It was such a great story that I had to watch the movie just so I could experience it again (of course the movies are never as good, but at least the important parts of the story were similar!). I would most definitely recommend this book.  Probably one of my favorites.
