Do you even know what that means?
"I'm not a little kid anymore. It means pissed-at- men syndrome"
This is a quote from the book version of The Last Song. (I saw the movie the same day I finished the book, which I did so in two days over spring break, and I must say: I'm sorry, but Miley Cyrus ruined the movie, she is a terrible actress...) However, this quote I absolutely love! The entire tone of the book is kind of a love drama (with a teenage spin), a Nicholas Sparks trademark. The book circles around Ronnie, a rebellious teen and Will, your average rich/preppy/jock who happen to find each other in a small North Carolina town. Since most of the book entails the story between the two lovers, I love this quote because it brings the reader back to a fun, cute essence -- Ronnie's little brother, Jonah. I couldn't help cracking up at this line, both in the book and the movie, because Jonah has an undeniable "little boy" charm, where he's a little bubble of happiness 100% of the time, because he has no reason not to be, he's in his own little world. This quote completely captures his essence and character and reminds how important it is to have people like these in our lives, who bring a little light into the sometimes seemingly endless darkness.
