This book was such an improvement from the second book in the series, however the lack of things going on other than the marriage planning kinda bored me a little bit. I have only watched the first 3 episodes of the prime series and I can definitely see how Jenny Han has improved her storylines in terms of depth, as i can already see there will be more of a variety of topics than the book.

Main issue though- Both Jeremiah and Belly pmo BAD.

I feel like Jeremiah had close to NO personality in the third book. I was team jere throughout the whole series but I now understand why Belly is so much better off with Conrad. Jere was either angry or bored throughout the whole book- and the cheating thing was also so annoying, like you break up for a week and he goes straight to sex.

Now Belly, despite sympathising for her, it was getting frustrating to have to listen to Belly be so negative 24/7 and crash out at people constantly, however I also do somewhat understand it. And the way everyone's first thought was that Belly was pregnant was making me feel kinda bad for her.

Conrad also pissed me off my confessing everything a night before the wedding. Like no wonder shes going to have second thoughts BUT. He did kinda save her from being stuck in a rushed, emotionally detached relationship. Conrad is a very complex character and despite annoying me really bad in the first book, his character development was great in my opinion.

ALSO NAH WHY IS STEVEN AND TAYLOR NOT ENDGAME BRO. I would of loved to see more of them but i do think they are going to change it so that they are endgame in the show which is great.

I feel like i spend too much time comparing the books to the series because of how different they are, but I think the books are defo better for slightly younger readers, like tweens maybe. Do appreciate a fast, easy read though because there isnt much plot to follow. The books are focussed solely on Belly and her relationships which i find kind of boring the me, but better for people who dont want to be overwhelmed by other stuff going on.

I dont think im going to read any more of Jenny Han's books, but I'm glad that I read them, and it has defo got me more attached to the series!
