You'll need a WHOLE box of Kleenex if you decide to read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. This is the 14th novel I've read this year and is not just a tear jerker, it is a sob fest waiting to happen. So if you need a good cry...it is the book for you.
This story is about a young girl on the verge of turning 18, a girl who is rebelling against her parents as she tries to understand how her father could have left her family just 3 years earlier. Her mother is forcing her to go away for the summer with her 10 year old brother to stay with the father that she hasn't spoken too in those 3 years. From New York City to the small beachfront town of Wrightsville, where she finds life to move at a much different pace. She knows she will hate life there, it is after all so different from what she knows. After meeting potential friends her first night there she begins to find out who she really is, and who she wants to be. She finds love and acceptance from a father that she is trying to continue to rebel against, and she comes to find that being who she is is not who she wants to be.
When faced with multiple problems she is forced to make a decision to stand and fight or once again to run away. What will she choose? To find out you'll have to read the book, just be sure to have those kleenex handy. You might want to explain to anyone who will be in listening distance why you will be suddenly sobbing too!
