This book makes me forget that I’m even reading。 It’s so good， I just keep turning pages without even realizing how quickly I’m flying through it。 I am so excited to start the second book！

I decided to read this book as it was both recommended by my step-sister and there was a rumour that it was being turned into a movie。 Not wanting to be one of the people that read it 'after the movie' I decide to read it over the summer。 I have 'sat' on this book for about six months now， and my initial thoughts as of the conclusion of the book have remained constant。 Having high expectations going into it， I was fairly disappointed with how it turned out。 I found it a little jumpy with all the I decided to read this book as it was both recommended by my step-sister and there was a rumour that it was being turned into a movie。 Not wanting to be one of the people that read it 'after the movie' I decide to read it over the summer。 I have 'sat' on this book for about six months now， and my initial thoughts as of the conclusion of the book have remained constant。 Having high expectations going into it， I was fairly disappointed with how it turned out。 I found it a little jumpy with all the time jumps， and the love interest is a not-good guy。 I， in general， do not appreciate the friends-to-lovers arc so having the two main characters only interacting both in the summer and when their moms meet up does not bode well for me。 Despite the book having cute moments between the lovers， I did not like it as much as I was expecting to。 。。。more

so I read this cuz I miss summer so much and the vibe was very summery and nice and beachy， but the book was meh。 The main character is actually annoying as fuck anything she does makes me hate her even more。 She’s like an annoying baby and made me not like the book 😍 but cuz it’s so summer vibes towards the middle it was good and I enjoyed like the act of reading it。

I read this book in 2 days， I just couldn’t put it down！！ The story is so beautiful， I could identify with the main character Belly so much。 The book gives you a total summer feeling。 At the end there is a really big plot twist， I personally didn't expect it， I cried for an hour so much I felt for the characters。 The best book I've read in a long time。 I love this type of book ♡ I read this book in 2 days， I just couldn’t put it down！！ The story is so beautiful， I could identify with the main character Belly so much。 The book gives you a total summer feeling。 At the end there is a really big plot twist， I personally didn't expect it， I cried for an hour so much I felt for the characters。 The best book I've read in a long time。 I love this type of book ♡ 。。。more

It’s so shocking to me that to all the boys I’ve loved before has better reviews than this series！ This book/series has everything you want in a YA series and is a perfect bridge to adult romance。。 first love， a love triangle， BROTHERS and of course the heartbreak that is family dynamics and the teenage girl。 I still tear up at the end when Susannah says take care of him🥺 can’t wait to see this on the series but also worried it’s gonna ruin it for me a little just cause the book series is so mem It’s so shocking to me that to all the boys I’ve loved before has better reviews than this series！ This book/series has everything you want in a YA series and is a perfect bridge to adult romance。。 first love， a love triangle， BROTHERS and of course the heartbreak that is family dynamics and the teenage girl。 I still tear up at the end when Susannah says take care of him🥺 can’t wait to see this on the series but also worried it’s gonna ruin it for me a little just cause the book series is so memorable and iconic for me 。。。more
