I was expecting more. It felt underwhelming and underbaked. It felt as if the books main purpose was to set up sequels rather than to tell a story. Too much time spent in the past. I enjoyed how much more fleshed out belly was in the book than in the show.

I enjoyed watching the series so decided to read the books, it’s interesting to see the differences between the two. To see what was added or removed from the show. I am invested in the characters already so this was a quick read and I enjoyed it.

thoughts while rereading

p44: different name than on the show

p67: taylor’s dream trip is cabo? oooh interesting

p112: and that’s exactly why belly goes by isabel in paris

p137: why’s steven not saying anything? isn’t he there? (oh wait, no he left)

p172: cam cameron knows what’s up

p186: what even is spit anyway? i forgot

p211: sheeshhh i’m so glad i don’t have any period horror stories

p213: oh if only a divorce was their biggest worry

p224: laurel really embodies “if you’re not bleeding, get over it” and i’m here for it

p243: belly you go girl, queen energy 👑 if you love someone, you tell them
