It is a story about 'family, first loves, second chances and the moments in life that can lead you back home'. In my opinion, Nicholas Sparks writes with a depth of feeling and tenderness rarely seen in male authors. When I read this book, he brought both joy and sadness to my heart. This story is based on the changing relationship between Ronnie and her father during a summer holiday. It started when Ronnie was sent to her father's place for summer. They didn't really get along because Ronnie believed that it was her father who left her mother because he thought his career was far more important than the family. Ronnie realised over the summer that she was wrong about that, and that her father loved Ronnie and her brother Jonah more than anything. When she found out that her father was dying because of terminal cancer, Ronnie felt her world was coming down. They had so little time left together after they finally reunited. Life was much like a song. In the beginning there's misery, in the end there's confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotions resides to make the whole thing worth while. This book was made into a movie in 2010.
Who would enjoy this? People who enjoy adolescent love stories and relationships between family members.
