The Last Song

Recently I took a break from Gone With The Wind, and read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It is about a rebellious girl, Ronnie, from New York. Her parents are divorced and her dad lives in North Carolina. She hasn't really kept in contact with him, and slightly hates him. This changes when she must go stay with him for the summer with her little brother. They soon have a better relationship as Ronnie forms a relationship with Will. Ronnie and Will fall in love with each other, and with Will around Ronnie likes to be with her family much more. As the summer continues, Ronnie's dad is making a stain glass window for a church that was burned down. Steve, Ronnie's dad, thinks it was his fault, when it was really the fault of one of Will's friends. This book makes you want to cry when Ronnie learns that Steve has cancer and is dying. Will is supportive and helps Ronnie and her brother through his death. This is a very good book, but very predictable.
