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!

This book was WAY better than the first one as it actually had plot, very emotional, very cute when it comes to romance, and overall just a way better version of the first

I checked this audiobook out of the library because Han's writing is soothing and enjoyable. I did enjoy the first book in the series, but this one didn't live up to the first. It was not a bad book by any means there is still enough messy teenage drama to deliver what you want out of the book. However, I did not feel that this book Belly had any level of character development in this book. I might argue that there was a little growth in her relationship with her mother, the true hero of the series. However, it just feels a bit like Belly is stuck with Conrad even though he treats her poorly and as a result that means that Belly treats Jeremiah poorly. Also, Belly's relationship with her best friend, Taylor feels super toxic at times. In many ways, I would describe this book as a CW show in its first season. It is giving you what you want, but it's not entirely clear who all the characters are within the context of the show. 

I still enjoyed this book and if you are a fan of Han's work it isn't likely to disappoint, it simply was not my favourite of her books.
