The true Last Song

I finished "The Last Song" on Friday night of last week. I cried and cried. Reading a book about a revel daughter turned good beccause of a love interest is absolutley amazing. As a spoiler, Ronnie's dad dies. It is one of the sadest endings. Steve begins to slowly deteriorate. He gets more frail and white everyday. Jonah is forced to return to New York with his mom, and Ronnie refuses to leave her father by himself. She takes care of him until the moment he dies. During all of the madness with her father Ronnie discovers the truth about why her father was so determined to make the stained glass window for the church. He thought that the fire was because of him, and he couldn't truly remember what happened the night the church burned down. She found the real absolute truth way to late. What truly happened to the church, was Marcus. Marcus threw one of his fireballs, and it went through the window. What Will thought was true was that the church was burnt down by Scott and his bottle rocket. For years Will has been covering Scott's tracks, that way Scott wouldn't get into trouble. Will finally broke down and told Ronnie the truth, and unfortunately the truth hurts. Ronnie and WIll were done after that, and then Ronnie found out what Marcus did. Of course after such a traumatic event a happy ending must be in tact. At Ronnie's dad's funeral Will returned, and him and Ronnie talked. They decided they would wait for each other. Will decided he would go to Colombia in NY, and Ronnie would audition for Juliard in NY as well. That way they would be together, and both get what they truly wanted. But what makes the story is Ronnie. Ronnie finished the last song her father had began to write. His last day Ronnie played the song for him. This is where I truly lost control of my emotions. Ronnie only started playing the piano because of her dad, and she stopped because of him. Now she plays for him, and she auditioned for Juliard for him. Its all very beautiful.
