Den får fyra och inte fem för störde mig på huvudkaraktären， men annars var vibesen där。 Huvudkaraktärerna var lite pick me， jobbig och cringe vilket gjorde att hon betedde sig konstigt lol。 Men overall bra sommarvibes

I absolutely loved the TV series to this book， which is why I decided to read it。 I do have to say that the show is different from the first book， so I was a little disappointed in that。 Although I did really like this book it definitely showed you some things that the show doesn’t。 You really get to see how belly felt all those years and how it affects her in the future。 This is such a cute summer read and it wasn’t hard to finish even tho I already know what happens。 Highly recommend to read i I absolutely loved the TV series to this book， which is why I decided to read it。 I do have to say that the show is different from the first book， so I was a little disappointed in that。 Although I did really like this book it definitely showed you some things that the show doesn’t。 You really get to see how belly felt all those years and how it affects her in the future。 This is such a cute summer read and it wasn’t hard to finish even tho I already know what happens。 Highly recommend to read if you haven’t 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 One thing I love about this book is that it really does capture you into this summer house and the author does a great job making you feel like you’re experiencing it。 I recently started reading this book after watching the Prime series and I gotta say this is the first time I prefer a series over the book。 One thing I disliked was the constant flashbacks in the book that had no significance other than demonstrating this puppy love Belly has for Conrad since she’s 11/12。 I felt like I was kinda One thing I love about this book is that it really does capture you into this summer house and the author does a great job making you feel like you’re experiencing it。 I recently started reading this book after watching the Prime series and I gotta say this is the first time I prefer a series over the book。 One thing I disliked was the constant flashbacks in the book that had no significance other than demonstrating this puppy love Belly has for Conrad since she’s 11/12。 I felt like I was kinda just thrown into their love and Conrad’s character was honestly quite frustrating。 This trope of “I’m going through things so I have to be mean to everyone around me” didn’t really sell me。 I also don’t like the way Belly brushed over Jeremiah’s feelings after his confession and continued to obsess over Conrad。 There was no substance with their relationship between Belly and Conrad - and I think that’s why I felt it was a bit obsessive and rushed。 While with Jeremiah there were a lot of memories and fondness in their relationship that would make a reader root for them。 She was jealous of Jeremiah and Taylor or his colleague but brushed over his confession。 It makes you wonder what do you really want Belly attention or genuine affection？ Wonder how this is going to tie together in the next following books， because so far Belly is frustrating and irritating me and I’m here for team Jeremiah。 。。。more

It took me awhile to read this but only because at times it felt slow for me。 I still really enjoyed it though and it made me miss being a teen。 I wanted to read this before watching the tv show and I’m really glad I did！ If you’re looking for a fun summer read， this is the book for you。 I can’t wait to read the other 2 books！

This book really deserves a 3。5 but is still a fun read。 I think belly is a little bit of an annoying character but I do understand why and kind of like it。 I see how she is made to look smaller by the other characters and it is a very innocent fun book。 I like it but it wasn’t super encapsulating as other books can be。 I do look forward to the next books and am excited to see where this story will be。 I do expect the next two books to be better because I know a lot of the first book is characte This book really deserves a 3。5 but is still a fun read。 I think belly is a little bit of an annoying character but I do understand why and kind of like it。 I see how she is made to look smaller by the other characters and it is a very innocent fun book。 I like it but it wasn’t super encapsulating as other books can be。 I do look forward to the next books and am excited to see where this story will be。 I do expect the next two books to be better because I know a lot of the first book is character developmental and still had a very strong foundation for this to be a fun trilogy。 。。。more

Herttainen kertomus kasvamisesta ja ystävyydestä。Jäi vähän pinnalliseksi - pakko sanoa， että TV-sarjassa on enemmän syvyyttä。

Honestly did not enjoy this book。 Felt very whiny and just boring but I have FOMO on finishing books so I had to finish it。 With that being said， I did listen to it as an audiobook and I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more if I had actually read it。

This book took me back in time， what a beautiful coming of age story。 I really enjoyed Han’s writing style and I feel like I was very connected to Belly。 I can’t wait to read the next two books in this series

I don't know what to rate this because I'm so in love with the narrator but not really enjoyed the story lmao。 Let's say 3 ⭐ for the story and 4。5⭐ for the narrator and I sum it up into 4⭐？I never tried audiobook before because I always fall asleep when I try。 It always happened and I forgot the story。 But， this one makes me love the audiobook， the narrator is pretty good with the expression even though I was disappointed because the voice of the male characters did not change into someone else。 I don't know what to rate this because I'm so in love with the narrator but not really enjoyed the story lmao。 Let's say 3 ⭐ for the story and 4。5⭐ for the narrator and I sum it up into 4⭐？I never tried audiobook before because I always fall asleep when I try。 It always happened and I forgot the story。 But， this one makes me love the audiobook， the narrator is pretty good with the expression even though I was disappointed because the voice of the male characters did not change into someone else。 I genuinely love the narrator for this audiobookThe story was okay， forgettable。 Not really put some mark into me。 Well， it was teenager love。 What do you expect？ lol。 The development of each character was not really significant and Conrad annoys me the most。 Like， I can see it clearly about your feeling， why should you close yourself off？ It's obviously written all over your face！ I bet his action reflecting on what happened to his parents， not gonna blame him but would you please at least be true to yourself as the time goes by？ Then， there is Belly which an annoying girl to me。 I'm not a fan of her。 She was the type of teenage girl that I do not like。 There is angst in this book， I felt it。 But， not that good either so it was so-so。 This is truly teenage summer loving。 For a starter on the audiobook， I'm impressed。 Maybe it will be different when I read the Physical book， the rating won't be that much。 Sorry， not sorry mom！What I like about Jenny Han's story is she always put Asian representation in her story。 That makes me want to read more of her book。 I'm not sure I'm gonna continue this series， but let's see in the future。 This book is good for summer because you get the lovey-dovey summer love。 Just not my type。 。。。more
