i’m so glad i’ve finally finished this series. basically binged it but boo man boo… it’s just very okay. would be awesome for teens tho! (the intended audience)
something this book made me realise i HATED, was the lazy way of introducing something that’s meant to hold relevance to us as the reader. the only example i can think of right now is the glass unicorn. she’s so in love with conrad that she seeks out a glass unicorn that’s soooo important and makes her think of him. does the audience know what this is? no! but you know what’s an easy way of introducing something? just do a flash back in the next chapter! like… it holds no weight to me that she’s grabbing this unicorn if it wasn’t even important enough to note at any point in all 3 of the books. i know I’m being very critical and petty, but ugh did i hate it.
i think jenny han is an ICON, but i find her writing style to be lacking a little. without getting into spoilers… the ending… 😐

Okay - this was definitely the best in the series and it did FINALLY give that real yearning feeling with the butterflies. The characters emotions and actions (while largely stupid and also dumb) did feel far more realistic which I appreciated. I think we can all agree that Belly, Conrad, AND Jere are all pretty stupid in their own ways and all don’t deserve each other for various reasons - but that’s not what makes a book bad, so I actually got down with this.
Something I REALLY struggled with this entire series is how much of the story is told in *flashbacks and echoes* #TaylorSwift. I knowwww that’s like the point but it makes it a lot harder to understand why Belly is obsessed with Conrad when we BARELY had real-time experience with them (even in the second book when they were actually together).
I think a lot of the pull of this book (and show) comes in the extrapolation that the reader has to do in order to fill in the gaps that Belly is suggesting to us related to her feelings/experiences with Conrad (and at times Jere). It’s giving extra-curricular homework, that I am unfortunately very happy to do. Because I’m a sucker for yearning.
Anyway. The audiobook was great. And I was a fan!

This series ended the way I thought it would. It was so rushed. The show is pretty accurate except Taylor and Stephen. Team Conrad 100%
