I first heard about this story when I saw that Miley Cyrus was going to be in a movie that didn't involve the other half of her split personality. It intrigued me. Could she pull this off? I then heard that the story was written by Nicholas Sparks - one of my favourite romantic story authors.
Of course I had to read it.
So when I finally got around to it, I was pleasantly surprised, but also concerned about whether Miley could actually pull off the strong character that is Ronnie.
Ronnie is a stubborn little brat. Her parents have split, seemingly because her father cheated on her mother. Ronnie is angry with him, as you would be. So when Ronnie's mother sends her and her brother to spend the summer with her Dad, Ronnie tries to avoid spending time with her at all costs.
This quickly falls into a typical "Sparks" story by introducing a dashing and gorgeous guy that Ronnie relunctantly gets to know and eventually falls in love with. However, the summer romance has its roadblocks in the form of parent issues, ex-girlfriends and secrets.
If you are a fan of Sparks' other works you will love this story. It has everything that Sparks is known for; great love and heartache. If you have never read any of Sparks' stories then this would be a good place to start. I was crying by the end of this story and I actually can't wait to see it on the big screen come 2010; although I will be taking tissues with me.
