I loved this book, switching between characters and teams. Can't wait to watch the second series
fast-paced

Sadly this was disappointing. No plot and Belly was insufferable. I never thought I’d say this but the show is way better than the book.

After seeing all the buzz about the TV adaptation, I decided to start with the book series first (because they always say the books are better, right?!).

This was such a low-stress, easy read—perfect for a nostalgic thirty-something who just wants to sink into a sweet story about young love and growing up.

Belly’s character instantly transported me back to my teenage years and gave me that nostalgic, butterfly-filled feeling. If I’d read this as a teen, I know I would have been obsessed. The themes of young love and family don’t hit quite the same for me now, but I still appreciated them for what they were.

I’ll definitely keep reading the series (and then watching the show right after).
