The Last Song

I just read the BEST book in the HISTORY OF BOOKS! It's called "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. I just couldn't take how good it is!!!!! I'm going to read it again, and a million times after that!!!!It's about a girl named Ronnie Miller. Her parents are divorced, and she lives in New York with her mother and little brother Jonah. Her father lives in North Carolina, where her mother unexpectedly ships them off to for the summer.
Steve (Ronnie's father) is a piano player, and was once a teacher at Julliard. Ronnie despises him, after the incident of him leaving them. Ronnie, lost in life, tries to avoid her dad as much as possible.
The first night in Wrightsville Beach Ronnie goes to the carnival that was temporarily set up on the beach. At the carnival, Ronnie accidently bumps into a guy playing volley-ball on the beach, spilling soda all down her shirt. This guy, Will, she soon falls in love with over the summer. After a dreadful encounter with some not so nice friends, Ronnie finds a loggerhead sea turtle nest. She calls the local aquarium, and Will shows up. Together they guard the nest from the dreadful raccoon.
The relationship between Ronnie and her dad grows, when she realizes that her dad does not want to make her life miserable, but that he actually trusts her, and believes in her.
It is a great book, that makes me happy, angry and sad all at once.
They are making it into a movie, which I am DYING to see. Unfortunately I have to wait until April.
