Seventeen year old, Veronica (Ronnie) Miller, had her world turned upside down. Her father gave up his job of teaching music to follow his dream, to become a concert pianist. The days on the road and time spent away from home took a toll on his marriage and his family finally resulting in a divorce. Now the children live in New York with their mother and their father is back in North Carolina. Ronnie could never seem to forgive her father for walking out of them.
The past three years she has refused to talk to him. She rebelled by shoplifting, staying out past her curfew and running with the wrong friends. Her mother takes Ronnie and her brother, Jonah to spend the summer with their dad. One thing Ronnie never did was drink or use narcotics. Even though she was a little rebellious she still kept her morals
Ronnie is determined to hurt her father. She stays gone all night. She makes friends with Will and Blaze. Both have unique personalities. The summer proves to be an interesting one. Ronnie will face a summer filled with grief, drama and romance. Her father only wants one thing: to spend a summer becoming reacquainted with his two children. Ronnie is very uncooperative, but her father practices patience and self control.
Nicholas Sparks books are always hard to lay down. The story moves back and forth, told from different perspectives. This book has a touch of summer romance, but that is not the main theme.
