I decided to re-read this trilogy once the series came out. As many YA novels that I have read in my early teens, re-reading it was flabbergasting! I had romanticised so much the characters and their behaviours, I only just now realize how toxic it all really is. None of them communicate, it is all deeply rooted in insecurities and jealousy, and baseline - every single character in this book needs therapy. The main problem is that Conrad is portrayed as the 'broody mysterious guy' just because he does not lie about his struggles - or he simply is not able to hide them. Everybody else is concealing them in some way, resulting in major miscommunication, gaslighting, manipulation, and general hurt.
It is a great book series to read to spend time and have a silly little romance, but it should - in NO WAY - be a starting line to set romantic expectations!

Really good, the show was really good. but… I don’t want to read the other books

I read this because I watched the first season of the show last summer. I bought the trilogy and finished them in 36 hours. I needed to know what would happen once Season 1 ended! I loved this story. It was peak teenage romance and messy triangle. It's a quick read that will leave you in suspense and uncomfortable. It makes you have an opinion and will leave you power reading until you get answers. 4.5/5
Wanted to see what all the hype was out. Haven’t watched the show yet because I wanted to read the series first. I have this problem where I don’t watch movies or shows because I want to read the book first, and then I never read the book, which means I never watch the show. I remember we were going to see The Help at the movie theater when I was in middle school, and I made everyone go see Leap Year instead because I wanted to read the book first. (But let’s be real, Leap Year was a great choice, too.) Have I ever read The Help? No. Which means I never ended up seeing the movie.
*4.5

One of my favorite books! Reads very easily. A book full of love, family, friendship and humor!
I was a little disappointed in this book. I loved the setting and the whole summer house thing but:
1.) the writing confused me. I often didn’t know if we were in the past or present.
2.) I see many reviews about how whiny Belly is, but what about those boys? I thought they were awful. Conrad seemed whiny is in his own sense and I thought they were both jerks.
I will continue to read the series to see what happens.

The time jumps confused me at times, but I did enjoy it and excited to read the second book
