Brief Summary: Belly is in college and is in love. However, after learning some disturbing information she returns to the only place she has truly felt herself, Cousins. As she tries to understand events and how to move forward, she must also listen to her heart.
Thoughts: I enjoyed this book a little more than the second one, but I still think the first book in the series is my favourite. I loved Laurel in this book. She is the true hero of the series and I honestly have no notes on her behaviour throughout the book. I would love it if she got her romance novel and got a new chance at love, especially after her children are out of the house.
A testament to Han's writing is that Belly is such a unique form of hot mess that can only happen for someone transitioning into adulthood. In many ways, I identified with Belly as she was trying to navigate a relationship that hit a rough patch, but because I am older I was also yelling at her to listen to her mom and her friends.
Overall, I was happy with the conclusion to this series.

Jeremiah actually seems manipulative in this one. And the ending… W T H. I cried. But also, the ending just wasn’t enough. I’m trying not to spoil anything, but nothing else, with Jeremiah’s and Belly’s event being cancelled? Then straight into Belly and Conrad? It was almost disappointing.
