Somehow even more teen than and not as good as the first one. I initially thought reading belly’s thoughts would make the books better, but somehow they make her seem even younger and less mature.
Belly is the problem. But so is Conrad. I’m still team Jeremiah but I think they all need to grow up.

Interestingly, Jeremiah is less insufferable in the books compared to the show. It’s not as clear-cut as to who the obvious choice is. He comes across as more emotional and less manipulative, less child-like. Conrad is also less ‘tortured soul’ and came across as more annoying. I think if I read the book before watching the show, I would have rooted for Jeremiah indiscriminately. The show runners really assassinated his character to make the choice obvious for viewers.
Jenny Han’s writing had also improved greatly since the last book. The plot line made a lot more sense. Belly was still insufferable, but it made sense for her character. But this book highlighted, more than before, how obvious it is that the boys are written by a woman. Their characters are unrealistic, but makes for good love interests for a romance series.
I think the different ways each character depicted grief stood out in this book. Yes, I think Han could have explored this deeper, there are times where we’re TOLD a character is acting out of grief yet their actions in the next line makes it difficult to believe that’s the case. It’s a good start, but I think I would have had a more emotional reaction should Han delved deeper.
