This book is amazing, personally I’m team Conrad but this gives you the best of both worlds 100/5

I’m team Jeremiah! They would look so cute together.

I’m team Conrad because he has the looks but there all nice people

I am team Conrad because he has the looks. He’s also

Is very sweet and I love how he keeps to

Himself. I also love Jeremiah he’s so

Sweet and cares so much about belly.!

I literally love this book and the show! It is such a cute book but belly is really annoying. Like she can’t pick between two boys and it gets on my nerves every time. But anyway they actually have my dream lifestyle

Wonderful and beautiful book with such a great conflict and resolution!! Jenny Han is a very talented and inspiring writer and person. Love, love, love, her work!! She deserves a lot of praise and love from the entire world. I hope she gets a chance to shine and show her true colours and make more books.

Overall, I rather liked the book. Enough to indulge in the sequel, at least. I wanted to know what happened to Belly and all of the experiences waiting for her back at the house in Cousins Beach. The only grievance I had was that it was quite slow and didn’t exactly have a point to the book. Yes, Belly had a love triangle but that was pretty much it. There wasn’t much going on with that either. However, something that grabbed my attention was how the author kept throwing Belly back into her past memories, which I found to be quite interesting. I wish Jenny Han had continued to do this in her further books but she didn’t. Sadly. I would recommend reading this book though. For it occupied my time for a good amount of MY summer and so did the sequel. Good luck!

I’m excited to watch the show

It was really good.

still one of my favorite books. it was like very happy and the ending continued through the second book

I love this book! It is my favorite book/series!❤️ I am team Jeremiah because Conrad is just mean and doesn’t treat people nicely and kindly!

I don’t know who Conrad or Jeremiah

This book was overall four stars, and here’s why:

It was pretty uneventful, besides the fact that Belly kept jumping from boy-to-boy. Nothing really happens it’s just an uneventful book.

Belly can make you frustrated. I, personally am team Jeremiah and Belly is just too into Conrad.

Belly just seemed to be using Cam and giving him false hope it was annoying.

But this book is a good book to read on the beach and I finished it in one day. I liked it enough to move to book two!

Omg any age literally though there is some words that are prooooobably not for ages 11 and under, BUT still awesome book. It is sPiCy, and RoMaNtIc, I may or may not have cried at some sappy parts , bUt it’s truly cool. If you ask me Conrad is a lItTlE annoying but he is the ULTIMATE bad boy, and I think that he and belly have cHeMiStRy. So if you’re someone who’s not boring and bland and likes things that are not boring and bland READ THIS BOOK, if you don’t, forget you ever saw my review, you don’t dEsErVe to read it. I honestly admit Conrad is a TaD bit toxic but I can’t help myself I mean for real, it’s CONRAD bad boy for life

It’s kinda annoying that they kept treating her like a kid and I kinda wished that she would make them apologize for it at the end but wHaTeVeR, MOVING ON. I mean was I the only one who pictured cam as a K-pop boy, the way the author was describing him I was thinking about K-pop weird right? aNyWaYs, the people kept on talking about how she looked so pretty and how they never said that to her before, not trying to be annoying here, but I honestly believe that all people are beautiful in there own way and people shouldn’t say someone’s pretty based on their own idea of beauty people should just grow up and accept the fact that everyone’s beautiful so deal with it. Btw: good book

- person who likes this book

I ain’t telling you my identity but my name is Belladonna, cool name I guess my parents couldn’t decide between Bella and Donna LOL

I love watching the show and now I love this book Jenny Han did a great with the book

I love this show and book! It’s fantastic!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I decided to read the series because I binge-watched TSITP and loved every second. As someone who usually prefers books to their film adaptations, I was actually kind of surprised to find that the books were a bit uneventful. If I had read the books first, I would’ve been shocked that it was made into a show. With that being said, the first book in the series isn’t a bad read. However—I hate to say it, but by the third book, I grew to hate Belly (the main character). She makes rash decisions on a whim, and she’s indecisive down to THE last second, which makes it incredibly hard to feel connected to her. Like, half the time I felt like I was thinking “Why????”. Overall, I’d check out the first and maybe the second book again, but the last one was a hard finish for me 🥲

Cute, easy read

In this bb book bound of deserted and deprived experience of being real a young man is left in the shadows of his brothers and enemy’s forced to burry the only thing that taught him the world was tragically taken without consent . Bound by no one a young and a iron with no no soul no well being of reason

The readers voice in the audio book is pleasant to listen to and the book is just light and fun and nostalgic.

I read the entire book in one day!

I really enjoyed this book! I’ve been waiting to read it for a while and glad I finally got to it.

People might shame me for this but in the books and the Amazon Prime adaption (WHICH IS INCREDIBLE) I’m Team Jeremiah. Conrad is always dumping Belly and he just can’t figure out how to act nice. Jeremiah is adorable.

I gave it 🌟🌟🌟🌟 because it was cute, short, and sweet. I think that some things could be better because there were definitely some plot points in the show that should have been in the book.

I also wish that Jeremiah and Belly had kissed in this like how they kissed in the show. 😭

Read it! It’s a cute summer read and (even though I didn’t read it on the beach) it’s perfect to read there.

☀️🌺🐚🌴

This book has everything! I would highly recommend.

I love the series on Amazon prime video so I decided to read the books after hearing my friends and everyone else saying the books where so much better, and I can agree! The series is great but the books go into so much more detail that the series misses. If you love the series I recommend reading the book. I hate reading and never read and I finished this book with in 4 days of buying! Loved it, can’t wait to read 2 and 3!

I really appreciated this book. It’s wonderful reading the inner thoughts of belly! I love the medium ground that comes with cheese and adorable !

One of the best book series i have ever read!!! 100% recommend!!!!!

A book that got me back into reading again since being out of high school for 4 years. Reminds you of the feeling to be young and carefree and in love.

I loved this book so much, I finished it in less than 24 hours! It’s one that you don’t want to put down because you have to know what happens next!

i LOVED this book! i was expecting this book to be overrated but i was pleasantly surprised. i read it in about two days and it was honestly an amazing read. i was reading some of the comments about this book before writing this review and one caught my eye. it was about how jeremiah is so sweet to belly but instead she chooses conrad who is a jerk to her. i agree with what she commented about how this is a horrible example of love and dating to young girls, but i have a feeling it’s all going to work out in the next book. Happy Reading!

Such a great easy read!

My tummy butterflies are still flying.

I like this story. Some things I didn’t like the low key body-shaming comments. It was only a couple of times but it stuck in my mind. The story was well written and I cried a couple of times. It was a wonderful coming of age story and I look forward to the sequel.

Really good book:)

I loved it !!!

Has that wistfulness and summer vibe that teenagers will enjoy. The plot feels like it’s been done a million times before but it’s target audience will be satisfied. As a teenager, I loved this series and pined, along with Belly, for Conrad. 😅

Why do women authors continue to write novels targeted towards young girls that perpetuate toxic relationships. Jeremiah is kind, supportive and nothing but loving towards Belly and she refuses him. Instead, pining after Conrad who consistently treats her like garbage throughout the entirety of the book. As an adult I know that this is not acceptable behavior and I would toss Conrad aside in a second, but again this is a book targeted towards younger girls, is this the standard we really want to teach them to have?

Good read, finished in one day.

Loved this book. I’m not really a romance novel kind of girl, I’m def more a mystery kind of girl. So I was pleasantly surprised when even I couldn’t put this one down. I finished it off in one sitting. It was well worth the hype

Every part of this book is amazing. I loved everything

I enjoyed it. Belly is exhausting though lol. She is so dramatic.

Maybe I’m just not a romantic. But the way this girl goes back and forth with these guys is exhausting.

Loved this book!! It was drama and I loved it.

It was a good coming of age book. It was easy and light to read when I was feeling burnt out and just needed something light to get me back into reading. Totally recommend if you want a fast read !

It feels like the same plot of a lot of romantic books - girl loves boy, boy doesn’t care (understandingly, considering the age gap and how they were just kids) and eventually the boy comes around. I honestly wish though that the plot could have been slightly different, so that it felt more original to me but I doubt that could even be possible and I don’t blame Jenny Han, considering how well the book was written. The characters really come to life, the good and bad. Often in books, the point is to highlight the good but in this, the bad was also given a spotlight.

This is one of my favorites books and so fun to read. I love all the characters and how it’s about a girl who finally gets what she wants and gets noticed by a bunch of guys but gets stuck in a love triangle with her moms friends sons. Classic storyline.

i’ve cried too many times for the beck boys help 💀

I absolutely love this book and reread it so many times. Definitely recommend this one and the rest of the siries

really cute & heartfelt story. made me feel young again. :)

Loved this sweet story! Easy and interesting and satisfying.

such a nice book! great amount of sad, happy, and drama. <3

I didn’t expect much from this book if I’m being honest. My friend recommended the series to me first, and after I watched it I just had to read the books. I’ve only read the first book but I highly recommend it. It isn’t inappropriate and it’s a very realistic story of a summer filled with love and family pain. Thank you to the author Jenny Han for creating another great series than I’ll love forever. ❤️✨

Honestly, i had such high hopes for this book after reading some of the reviews and i totally think that’s on me for my whole interpretation of the novel. I can’t help but feel sort of empty and disappointed after reading this even though the ending was probably the best part (for me). I enjoyed Conrad and Jeremiah as characters, they really off set each other as brothers nicely, it was almost like i could see them and their attitudes so vividly. Their mother too, Susannah was such an inspirational character and i loved how she was depicted throughout the whole story. Though I’m slightly disappointed because honestly, I wanted a cheesy romance and instead feel like i got a story 90% about a random boy Belly was never even “into” just to make her real love jealous and it all just sort of felt like nothing was told? No point was ever made or no progress was gained? But somehow that’s also fitting for the story since in the end, Belly can’t help but feel like she wasted her summer on the wrong things too. The story itself symbolizes a lot and reached me in ways I truly didn’t expect it to. The message i got out of it was definitely worth more than some cheesy romance which I actually appreciate. Somehow though, I’m wishing that this story was a standalone with just a more developed ending and shorter “Cam Cameron” scenes. Just my preference. Finished it in one sitting, I think I would still recommend though because I really enjoyed this author’s writing style. Just don’t go into it with any assumptions because this book may not be what you’re expecting.

I haven’t read a book since middle school and I literally read this in one sitting as a 20 y/o! It’s amazing :)

this is sick and twisted jenny babe. sick and twisted.

I absolutely loved this book and I read it in 2 hours. The only thing I hate about it is Cam. He was just like annoying to read about and sort of messed up what should have happened. I completely recommend this book. Just as a warning though, some characters are better than others in this book.

Some books just can't be topped. Every time I read it I get butterflies and cry and laugh along with it the whole time. I just can't believe a book could make me feel like this does. Read the book, it will change your life. Thank you Jenny Han and most of all Belly.

I love this book so much! I read it all in a day and I immediately got the second book! I would 100% recommend this to anyone.

(I am 13)

I loved it

I absolutely loved this book!! I laughed and I cried and I was caught by surprise! it was the perfect mixture of things. it's not overly sappy but you also become connected with every individual character at the same time. definitely worth 5 stars. I would have gone with 10 if it was an option :)

This is such a sweet and lovely book. She's a great writer and it's very easy to imagine. Some might find themselves to dream about something like this. Highly recommended!

This was the series I've ever read. Praise jenny Han. Better than twilight by a long run!

I dnt really cry during books ,but something really made me connect during this book! I balled doing it! It is one of my favs now! I personally think lots of young girls like myself can really picture our self in her spot(: cnt wait to read the final book!

It's probably one of my favorites now. Every time I would read it I got butterflies. I can totally relate to it also. I love it!

omg every girl 13-19 should read this book it has love, life, and friendship! I absolutely loved it! can't wait to read the next one!

Okay so I was bored one night and well I kinda wanted to read so I downloaded the sample of this book at first I thought I wouldnt like it cuz the name sounded dumb so I read the sample and was hooked I DARE you to get the sample at least. I swear you will like this book as much as I did :)

Great book about growing up. Summer will never be the same :)
