So I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. First, let me tell you that I really like Jenny Han's writing style. That did save the book for me. It reads easily. BUT THIS BOOK, NO. Again the writing style is fine. BUT THE STORY. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE. Jere... My god. What an idiot. He cheated, she mad (understandable), he desperately tries to make up, she needs distance (again understandable), she invites him... HE ASKS HER TO MARRY HIM. THAT'S ALREADY FUCKING CRAZY AND SHE SAYS FUCKING YES. THIS IS NOT THE BELLY I KNOW. I think Jenny Han wanted the book to be unpredictable, but in the end it was still predictable and you only pissed me off.

i cried reading the end as well as
the letters from conrad to belly. they truly personify him in the same way i imagined him like. it made me so happy because i love handwritten letters as a medium. it made me like conrad more.
this book was a good end to the trilogy. i live for the drama that follows belly and her boys.

I liked this book! It’s what I was looking for when I grabbed the first book. I’m so glad I kept reading this trilogy.

What I feel right now is nostalgia. I’m going to miss Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. I’ll miss the beach house and all the drama of this threesome.

I wish the author had opened up the story beyond the love triangle. It'd be amazing for the story—besides, Susannah and Laurel's friendship is worth delving into. Also, I would have loved to see more of Steven, Taylor, and Anika.

I loved Conrad! It was great to see him redeemed. My heart goes out to him, as he was a sad little boy. He remained silent for too long because he thought Belly was happy, but we all knew she wasn’t. Conrad worked on himself and learned how to express his feelings. However, I wish he had fought for Belly with all his heart and soul.

It bothered me how Jeremiah just changed his behavior out of nowhere to make Conrad look better. In the first two books, the author portrayed Jeremiah as a kind and easygoing brother. He would always look out for Belly. However, in this third installment, Jeremiah acts like a rude person.

I’m Team Conrad through and through. But Jeremiah seems to be a different person. I understand Belly was an unreliable narrator, and that may be why we view Jeramiah’s transformation as significant. However, I did not appreciate it. Conrad could have fought harder to prove that he was deserving of her.

The audiobook is amazing! Having Lola and Chris narrating the book is perfect. I liked this book! It’s what I was looking for when I grabbed the first book. I’m so glad I kept reading this trilogy.
