As the day of the debutante ball and the end of the summer approaches, everyone attempts to keep the things they value near to their hearts.Įverything goes wild when Susannah’s secret is uncovered, and Belly learns she’s been focused on the wrong things all along.

Then, of course, I’m a very curious person so I need to read the next books.Warning: This article contains heavy spoilers Plot summaryīelly Conklin, who is on the verge of turning sixteen, hopes to start her love story with Conrad Fisher in the summer.
I feel like keep reading this series is entirely my choice, not because I think I won’t enjoy the next books, but simply because this ending can be satisfying on its own. And that’s what I think Jenny Han does best along with the endings! I love how she ends her books. And Belly just acts like the 15-year-old girl that she is. When that happens in front of your crush, it can be pretty upsetting. I mean, most of us went through that phase in which we wanted to be treated as adults, but we definitely weren’t adults. Well, she’s annoying as most teenagers with a crush. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying that Belly is annoying. But both boys have always seen her as a little kid, even if maybe this is the summer when everything changes. She’s spent every summer with the Becks boys since she was really little, and she’s had a crush on Conrad since forever. She’s a young girl, dealing for the first time with boys giving her attention, and wanting to just enjoy her favorite time of the year. The writing style is simple and reflects perfectly Belly’s character. So, I was looking for something light and easy to read, and I found it! I’ve been reading a lot of dark fantasy novels lately, and there are some pretty great fantasies releasing these days, so a summery, teenage love read was what I needed. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.
They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer–they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between.
Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.
