This book is definitely different from #1 in tone, much more somber, in pace, slow, and the characters (especially Belly), felt much more annoying. Instead of a carefree summer YA romance, this finds everyone grappling with devastating circumstances. Parents and kids are fighting, there's underage drinking. It's a sad book. And I was feeling like it was just an entire filler book and I didn't know if I felt like finishing the last book. But it leaves you really wondering.... So I will cross my fingers characters grow up a lot and the ending is worth the slog that was book #2.

This is not what I was expecting after the first book.
There was so much tone change and little summer at the house. But it paid off at the end, that is why I'm rating it so high.
It was so interesting and emotional to see how different everyone handled the grief. It was really truly different without Suzanne.
But Belly got a lot of character development, and said out all the problems I had with Conrad in the first novel so good for her.
I'm interested, how the series will close up.

Another fun beach read. We’re not breaking any barriers of literature here, but I’m continuing to enjoy this lighthearted trilogy. As always, Jenny Han is the queen of last-page cliffhangers that leaves you wanting more!
