While Lara Jean and Peter don't have a summer romance on the beach, fans of the trilogy are still sure to love "The Last Song." Ronnie (Miley Cyrus) has the summer of her life when she is shipped off to spend it with her father, Steve (Greg Kinnear), in the small beach town he lives in. After her parent's divorce, Ronnie and her little brother Jonah (Bobby Coleman) don't see their dad often, but their parents want that to change because Steve has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Ronnie meets Will (Liam Hemsworth), a popular boy from a well-off family, and the two hit it off. Like Lara Jean and Peter, they struggle with college decisions, how people view their relationship, and the conflict they encounter. Ronnie has been accepted to Julliard as a talented pianist but has no interest in attending, while Will is meant to go to Vanderbilt and follow in his family's footsteps despite desperately wanting to attend Columbia.
Lara Jean and Ronnie are two sides of the same coin. Both struggle with losing a parent, feeling adequate enough for their boyfriends because of social standing, and working through an important decision that will impact the people they love.
