The Last Song by Sparks, Nicholas (February 4, 2010) Paperback

Angry seventeen-year-old Ronnie is forced to spend the summer with her estranged father in a sleepy North Carolina beach town, and what begins as reluctant obligation slowly transforms into something far more meaningful. Between reconnecting with her dad, discovering an unexpected romance, and unearthing long-buried truths about their family, Ronnie finds herself caught between the person she's been and the person she's becoming. It's a bittersweet story about how love—in all its complicated forms—can shatter us and put us back together again, often in beautiful ways we never expected.
