Publisher's summary

From the author of A Walk to Remember comes a moving tale of redemption and first love when a rebellious teenager decides to spend the summer with her estranged father in a North Carolina beach town.

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 Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated 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.

Seriously good cry

It’s about relationships, patience, forgiveness, and facing hard truths. I cried for most of the last 3 hours of the book. If I’d known it was this sad, I might not have bought this book. But it’s a very deep story in some ways, and there’s a lot to think about. Narration is very good, and the story is told well. I think I’ll be glad I listened to it, but later, after I’ve had time to process it. Some of this hit too close to home.

The Last Song

I saw the movie before I read the book. Although, I loved the movie, the book was much better because you got the whole story Nicholas Sparks intended. Some of the meaning was lost in the movie translation.

Don't think it's a teenager story

In the beginning it seems like a teenager book, and you may think you bought some trash as Twilight series, however as the history develops you may be surprised on how powerful the author describes the mind of a father, a daughter and some surrounding teenagers. The narration is awesome, fantastic!
