The perfect Summer read, relaxing and lighthearted. Love the characters and I wish I could join them at Cousins Beach every Summer. ☺

Also: loved the TV adaptation!


4.5 stars.
Loved this one! The characters are great and the beach setting is the best. I felt like I was in Cousins with them and overall this book is definitely one I'll reread in Summer. :)

When I picked this up I was distracted and didn't realize it was a book about a teenage girl, but I read on. I loved this book, it brought back memories of my teenage years, made me laugh, and made me cry. It was a book I couldn't put down and I can't wait to read more from this author.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Those three words perfectly describe this trilogy. I cannot fathom why this series even has such a high rating. Belly was so irritating; she acted as though her life revolved around the Fisher boys. She had no backbone and always worried that the boys wouldn't like her. Her personality was honestly so sickening. I don't know how I got myself to read the whole trilogy.

UPDATE 3/30: Thinking of rereading the series. Perhaps my view on this series will change if I read it a second time.

I'm not sure how to feel about this book. I went on a rollercoaster of emotions and not in a good way.
