//The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks// is a Young Adult Fiction. It is about a Seventeen year- old girl, Veronica “Ronnie”, whose life went from bad to worse when her parents got divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later her mom thought it would be a good idea for her and her brother Jonah to go down to North Carolina and spend the summer there. She still is very angry about the divorce and most of her anger is at her father. Ronnie’s father who was a former concert pianist (A musician who plays the piano and has concerts) and a teacher is now living on the beach in a quiet town, and he is obsessed with creating this piece of art that will become the center piece for a local church. Her father makes many attempts to reach out to Ronnie but she does not accept any of them and threatens many times to return to New York before the summer is over. But soon Ronnie meets Will, the last person she thought she’d ever be attracted to, and finds herself falling for him. This book is about love and relationships, about a teen’s first love, and a love between parents and children.

 This book was already made into a movie by TouchStone Pictures. This movie is an “Uplifting, Unforgettable, Touching and Wonderful movie” – Pete Hammond Box Office Magazine. I honestly would never change a thing. I think the cast of this movie was all around great. Playing Veronica “Ronnie” they have Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear plays Steve “Ronnie’s Dad”, Bobby Coleman plays Jonah “Ronnie’s Brother” and Liam Hemsworth plays Will “Ronnie’s Summer Love” and etc. I would not change any of these actors because I feel they all play/fit the roll perfectly.
