Nicholas Sparks' The Last Song

Last week I finished reading Nicholas Sparks' new novel The Last Song. The Nicholas Sparks fan in me enjoyed it. The YA fan in me laughed at a few of the "non YA" descriptors. Ronnie - a 17 year old - thinks about guys being "on the make" yet even my interns in their early twenties don't remember that expression. The agent in me (and the crazy part of my that is obsessed with first person POV) wished the story was told from alternating first person POVs rather than third. And the 13 year old girl in me kept singing Miley Cyrus in my head.

Seventeen year old Veronica "Ronnie" Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alientated from her parents, especially her father...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church.

Haven't missed a Nicholas Sparks movie yet - not going to miss this one either :)
