Summary: #1 bestselling author Nicholas Sparks's new novel is at once a compelling family drama and a heartrending tale of young love.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 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.
My Thoughts: This book twists and pulls at your heart as you take a roller coaster ride through a young girl maturing into a young adult. Through the book I was both frusturated and totally happy as Ronnie made both good and bad desicons. And the end... lets leave it at the fact I'm still crying. This would be the second Nicholas Sparks book I have read and this one surpased the other by miles.

The characters were very well developed and I loved how he was in 3rd person the entire book but switched view points so I could really seep into the minds of the characters. Ronnie and Will's relashionship was special and unique from the beggining and I loved it as bad New Yorker fell in love with the sweet rich southern boy.
Overall the plot was very well developed and made me cry and squeal at different times.
Overall Rating: 5/5
One word/phrase sum up: Heartbreaking and up-lifting

ReplyDeleteNicely reviewed. Came to your site while looking for reviews on the books that we are looking forward to keep in our office library.
ReplyDeleteBeing an avid reader, I think the world of books is the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts except books. In their world, there are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on, still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men's hearts of the heart of men centuries dead.
