it was cute but that was it. i guess im over young adult/teen romances cus it just feels so juvenile and basic and naive. also the audiobook narrator had a really annoying voice and kept laughing while delivering lines which made it hard to understand what was actually said. i think a different audio person would have made this easily a 3 or 3.5 stars.

So sweet and cute and summery.

I really lived Belly, she was such a youthful girl.

This was so heartwarming.

Except that two mentions of questioning if someone was gay as an insult/mockery. That I didn't like.

breedawnwriter's review against another edition

medium-paced

3.0

I enjoyed this book. It was a fun summer read that I knew I'd love after falling in love with the TV show adaptation. 

I'm only giving it 3 stars because there wasn't really a plot, which made a lot of the scenes and interactions feel unnecessary. Hoping there's more of a plot for the other two books in the series.

Also, yes, I'm Team Jeremiah because Conrad is moody, broody (in a bad way), and cannot maturely deal with his emotions.
