4.5⭐️ but likely biased because I just finished watching the TV series and was itching to get more of these characters, so decided to dive into the series.

Not really my vibe. I maybe would have liked it as a teen but the plot did not really keep me interested and the writing was meh. I did not sympathize with Belly, I just thought she was immature

Abysmal. I’m giving 1 star and not lower because i am not the intended audience and I only read this book because my friend was excited about it and loaned it to me. I don’t even hate this book I am just apathetic towards it. There was no emotion sparked, all THREE (?) romances somehow ALL fell flat, Belly as a character’s personality is basically that she’s happy she’s hot now, and it’s so. fucking. boring. Not to mention that it’s obvious from about page three that Susanna has cancer. When I read that Susanna wasn’t there to greet them and was instead napping, i said, oh ok, she has cancer because it’s just THAT kind of a book. That doesn’t give this book depth, Jenny Han!!! 
Anyway read this in one session because I knew I wouldn’t pick it up again if I set it down. Really abysmal writing. Like “I did this, then I did this, and I couldn’t believe the boys were ignoring me again like they always were! And then I felt jealous. Then conrad looked at me! But I was with Cam now. I noticed Jeremiah looking at me too, like he wanted to kiss me. But I was going on a date with Cam!” 

Amigos sólo diré que estuvo entretenido, para pasar un buen rato de distracción.

La verdad no encontré hacia que dirección me quería llevar Jenny Han con esta historia, realmente no se cuál quiso que fuera el mensaje principal de esta historia. Fue todo demasiado rápido y realmente no me llegué a encariñar con ninguno de los personajes. Lo único que pensaba era: Yisus que insoportables son todos los personajes, (excepto las mamás, ellas son la mera bandita) la protagonista toooodo el libro se la pasaba quejando que no la incluían para nada y que todo el tiempo le decían que y no era una niña pero... girl, ya se por qué te evitaban.

Los chicos me parecieron insportables, sus acciones no tienen justificación alguna, ahora no quiero que me vengan a decir que esto es la cara de un amor adolescente. Obvio no, todo es demasiado tóxico.

El libro se trató de "Siempre he sido la don nadie... pero ahora soy bonita" Girl, ya basta. STAAAAP.

Pero se estarán preguntando ¿Por qué 3 estrellas? Pues de hecho, si le picas a las 3 estrellas te aparece un letrerito que dice "Me gusto"... Pues si, me gusto para entretenerme un rato, fue muy meh, estoy segura que en 2 semanas olvidaré el nombre de los personajes.

EL final solo diré que es algo rescatable, pero COME ON, era demasiado predecible, sólo me dejo la satisfacción de "lo sabía" pero sha, eso fue todo.

Sinceramente al ver este libro y como la autora evolucionó su escritura, yo me levantó y se lo aplaudo con ganas, Jenny, de verdad mejoraste... y mucho <3
