this was so cute. i really loved the beach aesthetic and the overall feeling of family. both boys are so cute and i loved how we saw glimpses of their relationships with belly from the past. 

i got really frustrated with cam and conrad at the end of the book, i wish we got to see more of cam and belly’s goodbye and how conrad and belly ended up getting together. it felt so on and off with conrad that it would’ve been nice to have a bit more clarification on his feelings towards the last 2 chapters.

also i love the relationship between the moms. it’s so sweet and genuine. 

definitely reread material ✅

I struggled with this one despite absolutely loving the show. I wish there was so much more added in this story to parallel the magic of the show.
