Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. 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. 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. 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.Thoughts
I picked this series up as I read Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved Before, and just absolutely loved them, so I wanted to read more of Han's work and decided to pick up this trilogy.
The first book follows Belly as she and her brother, with their mother go to a beach house to spend the summer with her mother's best friend and her two boys Jeremiah and Conrad. Belly (which is a nickname), has had a crush on Conrad for years.
I did like this book, it was very light and fluffy, but I wanted more from the book, it seemed a bit too light and fluffy to me, there just didn't seem to be much of a story to this. I don't know if I assumed that this would be a coming of age type story, and it does somewhat start that way, but Belly just gets annoying after a while and she doesn't seem to grow much within the book.
Overall, this book is ok if you want something light and fluffy, a summer read. Will I carry on with the series, I'm not 100% sure, it is on my TBR still but it is not the first book that comes to mind when I am creating my monthly TBR.
