A coming of age story that is relatable and brought  me back to my fifteen year old self. To be honest, I kind of liked the  shows take on the story a bit more than I liked the book itself. That being said, I still really enjoyed the book, and the way the story is told. 

At times though, Belly really bothered me with the way she treated some of the people around her. Some comments that were made throughout the book rubbed me the wrong way as well (i.e., the authors use of “gay” in a seemingly negative way). 

After watching the show (those of you who read before the show, please don’t hate me lol), I was really excited to read this book. And although I enjoyed it overall, I wasn’t as impressed as I had hoped to be. I will continue reading the series though!

Very cute summer ya beach read. Lacks that sparkle but not bad. Epilogue was a little weird but not bad.
