Another Nicholas Sparks tearjerker! Soon to be a movie with Miley Cyrus. You have to admit, his books turn into nice movies too.
Ronnie is 17 years old and full of rage.
Her father inexplicably changed careers 5 years ago, from a Julliard music teacher to a classical pianist on the road. Slowly his marriage and career fell apart and the last time she saw him was 3 years ago.
Her mother suddenly announces she and her little brother will go spend the summer with him on the beach in North Carolina.
Ronnie cannot believe that her mother would put her through this and, as can be expected, is less than cooperative upon arriving in town.
The story revolves around Ronnie finding a relationship with her father after years of bitterness. Learning to see what drove him to act as he did and understand him a little more.
At the same time she finds love at the beach, which may or may not fall apart as the summer comes to an end.
With the coming of Fall, Ronnie finds herself having to make some very adult decisions for the first time in her life.
A nice, pleasant, feel good read.
