I loved this trilogy! I can't get enough of it. I was so attached to every character, especially Susannah. I do wish Belly's mom had a few chapters about what's been going through her mind, her side of the story.
I'm a sucker for love triangles and this did the job. I usually pick who I liked better between the two, but I simply could not decided (like Belly, lol).
I thought Belly was annoying at first because she cried like A LOT, but she evolved. Though some say her character could be whiny and maybe too emotional, I thought it was honest. When she felt like crying, she cried. As for me, I'd hold it in.
The ending felt a bit abrupt, but I was still happy about the outcome. I, honestly, would not change anything about this trilogy. I think Jenny Han did a pretty good damn job.

ummmm book one: little childish, but cute and fun and I'm down for it.
book two: uuuuhhh okay? Really? We needed a whole book for these characters to be absolute IDIOTS who couldn't figure out that that is the ONE PLACE they should be going? Riiigghhhtt?
book three: SORRY MARRIAGE?? HAHAHHA NOPE BYE DNF.
This series is literally a love triangle and a fucking half with a back and fourth between one brother and the next but never actually going out with either (i think) and then it's like suddenly they're engaged and I swear the mc still acts like 12... I think she is 12 at least in the first one so like she's probably 16 at most in book three and nope I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up with the other brother and then back to the fiance or god knows what but jesus no thanks

represents grief accurately, more than most other authors. however, i wish it wasn't just centralised on the complications being within the relationships of the characters. it would've been better if there was more happening outside of it.
Read first book in trilogy and it’s maybe a 3.5 star. But I DNFd the second book.
I fluctuated between liking this, standing it and hating it. The ending was actually fairly good I’ll give it that, but I just feel like they were all....fine. But nothing outstanding.
I personally really enjoyed these books. I finished it in just a few days, which is sometimes very difficult for me. The only thing I disliked (SPOILERS) was how the main character kept switching between the two bothers. After a while, it got slightly annoying. Aside from that I really liked the trilogy.
This is not one of my favorite books of the series because Jeremiah gaslighted belly to marry him so young that’s what I didn’t like anyways I enjoyed it .
“It was a summer I would never, ever forget. It was the summer everything began. It was the summer I turned pretty. Because for the first time, I felt it. Pretty, I mean. Every summer up to this one, I believed it’d be different. Life would be different. And that summer, it finally was.”
I decided to review this as an entire series (but if you're wondering, the second book is my favorite out of all three) I love this story so much. I think about it everyday, it's like my perfect world to escape to. There's a definite association with "summer" and "first love", in my opinion.
I first read this when I was in middle school, and I feel like these people have grown inside of my head as I age through each year. It's my favorite "book" in this entire world and it's such a special thing that I still stand by that at almost 18, when I first read it at 13.
Belly is your perfect romantic who cherishes childhood as much as I do. I feel like she is so in touch with her younger self, and I can relate to that. I think my favorite books to read are always going to be those about growing up because, when it's written sweetly, it deems itself perfect in my mind.
