Her mom thinks it is a good idea for Ronnie and her younger brother to spend the whole summer vacation with their father in North Carolina. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist, is living a nice, quiet life in a beach house and making an art masterpiece for the local church. Ronnie, the rebellious person she is, rejects all of her father’s attempts to become closer and meets a boy, Will Blakelee, the last person she ever thought she would be attracted to. As time goes on, Ronnie falls in love with Will and realizes he is not the boy she first thought he was when they had a little run-in at the beach on Ronnie’s first day there. Ronnie has many decisions to make about her future with college and her true love and her dad. But at the same time, Will has decisions too. Will the two of them blow off college and stay in North Carolina together? Will Ronnie go back home to New York? Will Ronnie and Will both go off to college? Will she get the relationship back with her father that she secretly kind of misses? Before the summer is over, Ronnie feels so much guilt and regret to her dad that she secretly finishes writing their song…………….The Last Song.

I would recommend this book to other people. I would because it is an amazing love story and every chapter somebody has a new challenge to face, so it never gets boring. I am not much of a reader but I could not put this book down. I love how in just a month or two a person can just change their whole attitude about life, one day at a time and even though Ronnie has some really hard choices to make, any reader would have done most of the same things. Ronnie is just like one of my best friends. Her parents got a divorce about a year ago and after it was official she was so angry and rebellious. She won’t listen to anyone and she hasn’t even said a single word to her father since he moved out, just like Ronnie. The Last Song is an amazing book and I hope you read it
