It was a solid 3.5 🌟

I really love Jere in the other books and (the first part of the book was kinda hard to read) it pains me that his character in this book is the way it is but I get it it's for the plot. I'm just happy Conrad and Belly finally have their happily ever after!!

so excited to see season 2 of tsitp on prime and I for sure miss Susannah ❤️‍🩹

i think the letters at the end made up for how awful the entire series was. the entire plot of this last book was so weird and stupid. the entire story feels lost from the first book to the last even though it follows the same characters. the summer storyline and the house just fall to the background when that felt like the focus?? again, i miss steven. even tho i cringed most of the book and hated the marriage plot, this was probably the best of the three. it felt short and rushed like the other books but i guess that’s fine since it allowed me to finish in a few hours. i liked seeing more of taylor and belly’s matured relationship, as well as the college plot even if it felt much different than the first two books. although the entire book was about the wedding, i felt like it was more about explaining the time jump between the second and third book?? it was also confusing trying to decipher between past and current events. glad i finally finished so now i can cringe just as hard when i watch the show.

I don’t know why I wanted to read this book, I knew that I wasn’t going to like it considering I didn’t like the second book and should have just binned the series. I think part of it was I wanted to know how it ended and if it did get any better, fool on me – it didn’t.

This book is still based on Belly, who we met in the first book. She is now in college and with Jeremiah. She is loving her life with Jeremiah and she cannot wait to send all year with him. One night whilst at a frat party, Belly finds out Jeremiah cheated on her on spring break with the girl he told her not to worry about, she is heartbroken and doesn’t know what to do. Jeremiah begs for her to come back and proposed . . . and she said yes. Now she is planning her wedding and becoming Isabel Fisher just like she always wanted, except she thought she would be marrying Conrad. Each brother is keeping a secret from her, and this summer she must finally choose which brother her heart wants.

Okay, I am going to try and be polite as possible, but this book boiled my blood. Again, Belly is acting like a five-year-old when she’s supposed to be planning her wedding that she said yes to, she doesn’t listen to anyone else and then wonders why people are so pissed with her. Jeremiah and Conrad both need a slap in the face for letting a girl get in between them especially when it’s Belly. Like they were acting like the Salvatores trying to get Elena but there is one difference, they were vampires and could spend decades fighting where these two were going to think back to college as the time that the brother hated each other over Belly. I don’t think I've ever hated an MC as much as I hated Belly, she just doesn’t know what she wants and then she blames everyone else for that.

The parents were not existence in this book, if I was Belly’s age and turned round to my mum and was like I'm getting married, she would be like no way in hell. Laurel is supposed to be this bad-ass that we met in the first book and she gave up too quickly for my liking during this book and Mr Fisher was just like I don’t want to lose another son, like then stop him getting married instead of making your PA their wedding planning.

Belly didn’t deserve her happily ever after and I didn’t agree with the ending, I think she should have found someone as annoying as her in college and left the Fishers alone as childhood memories. Jeremiah was happy with someone else and I would love to know how he explained that Belly switched brothers about 6 times during the summer.

This book could have been cut down by about 100 pages, it was just repeating what was said during the two other books and wasn’t needed. The only reason I didn’t DNF this book or give it a one star was because of the additional POV chapters from Conrad. I wanted Conrad to have the additional POV in the second book and I knew I was right to want that.

Let’s hope the TV show doesn’t follow this book and it might be a little better. But this series took a lot out of me, which hurt me a lot considering I adored To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.
