Today however, I am finding I'm reading a lot more autobiographies, romance and drama novels - and I am really enjoying them.
Described as a love and coming of age story, The Last Song is possibly my favourite Nicholas Spark's novel (so far!) - it was also my fourth book in the Novel Challenge.
The story that unfolds is unforgettable and is about love in its different forms - first love, the love between friends and the love between parents and their children. It demonstrates the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts... but also heal them. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie! I am definitely one for reading the novel first and then watching the film. I think it makes the reading experience that more enjoyable as you are made to use your imagination to its fullest potential.
The only reason this novel didn't receive five stars is because I just didn't want it to end.
Like all the books I read - I recommend this to anyone who is interested in reading about a summer love story that may or may not stand the test of time. However, make sure you have tissues handy - one thing is for sure, where there is a Nicholas Sparks book, there are tissues a plenty.
