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.

I really loved the idea of this book. It's reflective of a summer you can relate to or kind of always wanted. It also explores young love & real life troubles & worries. That being said, I found Belly's characrer confusing. Often she seemed really mature in her flashbacks which ranged from age 11 to 14 but then when she's 15/16 she has a more immature outlook. I also found the flashbacks themselves a little confusing. They seemed misplaced a lot & irrelevant & the disorder of them made the story hard to follow. I also felt like Cam was super toxic & was an odd side interest, if you could even call him that.
