But i must say that the prev book was funnier and more poetic. This one was also good- but the first one was just better. Thats all.

belly was so self-centered this whole book. (why would she take the necklace ?!) conrad was a jerk. taylor was fine at some points but also was definitely not fine. and jere was actually great but i was frustrated at how he admitted that he only liked belly when she turned pretty, but i guess that’s the point of the series anyways.
i feel like everyone leaves belly in the dark and it makes me sad bc she deserves to know (and so does the reader or else it’s confusing)
this book felt like a filler to just get to the ending of their story. it just explained susannah’s death and gave lots teenage angst. so idk i hope the next one is better and gives more context.
not a reread unless i reread the trilogy ☑️

I think this wants to be a series with two viable main love interests so that readers can align as either #TeamConrad or #TeamJeremiah, but it just doesn't work because the author has stacked the deck for the guy she's interested in and the other guy never has a chance. This should be the book that makes a clear case for #TeamJeremiah, but it does a worse job than the first book did. While the first book showcased Jeremiah's emotional intelligence and sense of fun - qualities that were never going to win against a complicated bad-boy but which were at least enjoyable - this book simply casts him as a toxically conflict-avoidant doormat. Also, the fact that he continues to pine after Belly despite being clearly rebuffed in the first book gives him a "nice guy" sex pest feel that totally destroys what appeal he had built. Meanwhile, the book invests a lot more in Conrad, but only by having people talk about how great he is - all his actions continue to be repellent.
Belly is also not developed in this book, as her main role is to stand around and watch boys do things.
