Every story has its day

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2010)

To be honest i never really considered reading or watching the Last Song. I was just bored and wanted to DO something. Sparks never really interested me, but as i picked up the book i soon found i couldn't put it down. So i just had to watch the movie! The Last Song is about a summer like no other. Veronica,"Ronnie", Miller is a young women who is forced into seeing her dad for the summer by her mother. Ronnie is far from thrilled. She blames her mom and dad's divorce on her fathers love for music, and therefore hates that she loves it too. When Ronnie and her brother arrive at her fathers house in North Carolina, she is determined to ruin the summer.
On the first day there though, after Ronnie runs away to the fair, she meets two very interesting strangers. The first is Will. The amazingly lovable boy. Then Blaze, the girl who runs with the wrong kind of crowd. Soon Ronnie finds her self mixed into it all, the love for Will, her fear and betrayal from Blaze, and her unconditional love and hate for her dad.
As the story raged on, i found i could guess at parts of the ending. Still i kept reading and again the story became more entrusting. It was painful at the end, and ill admit i cried like a baby, but it goes to show the hardships of life, the choices we don't always understand, and the love of a father. I loved also how Sparks intertwined God into it all. Ronnies dad Steve found God, and in the end, everything turned out better than id have hoped.
