This is a empty calorie book, IMHO. This is a good book when you just want a fast read that doesn't need much though. Nothing really original. Although it wasn't amazing, I do plan on reading the rest of the series, but not right away.

I listened to the audio book, and the narrator did over the top inflections which annoyed me a little, which may of hurt my overall impression of the book. ( )

i needed a fast, fun re-read after many dull reads and this perfectly fit the bill. listened to the audiobook this time and the narrator did a FANTASTIC job. giving this a solid 3 stars because while i did have some issues with it, i still enjoyed this a lot. BUT during this reread i discovered that i am over Conrad's shit. and we're all about Jeremiah now *swoons* ( )

About the Book:
Belly is approaching womanhood when she goes back for the next summer at Cousins, this time she's an “adult” and will not be treated like a child. Summer in cousins was her favorite time of the year… The sun, the beach, the perfect house, and Conrad. Belly has loved Conrad for as long as she has remembered, but will this summer be the summer she finally gets him? Or will she find someone else along the way? And who would this be? Certainly not a boy from her past… or Conrad's brother, Jeremiah… right?

Review: (Possible Spoilers)
It felt wrong to give this book a two star rating especially after seeing how much hype the book and the tv show got. I am not sure if it's just me being the romance fanatic I am, but I found this book boring. Nothing happens other than hearing Belly talk about how she's been pining over Conrad forever, talking to a boy named Cam, and complaining how this summer is different from the past. I just found it very whiny. I was waiting the entire book for something exciting and shocking to happen and I never felt it. I don’t want to fully hate though, because the book IS cutesy. But that's about it. I would recommend it if you are looking for a light read about teen summer romance, but if not, don't waste your time. Very rarely can I say.. The show was better. ( )

Wanted to love this as much as “To All the Boys” but it was just OK

Read the full trilogy in two days and this is the best of the bunch. ( )

Cute but more typical of the genre not as magical realistic as To All The Boys I Loved Before was for me. ( )
