Honestly, this one was so much better than the first two books. Belly seemed a little more mature and not so whiney. It was a little easier to get into. 

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.

Amazing book. Written to be slightly slow so that the end makes sense. Beautifully written

I liked this book! It’s what I was looking for when I grabbed the first book. I’m so glad I kept reading this trilogy.

What I feel right now is nostalgia. I’m going to miss Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. I’ll miss the beach house and all the drama of this threesome.

I wish the author had opened up the story beyond the love triangle. It'd be amazing for the story—besides, Susannah and Laurel's friendship is worth delving into. Also, I would have loved to see more of Steven, Taylor, and Anika.

I loved Conrad! It was great to see him redeemed. My heart goes out to him, as he was a sad little boy. He remained silent for too long because he thought Belly was happy, but we all knew she wasn’t. Conrad worked on himself and learned how to express his feelings. However, I wish he had fought for Belly with all his heart and soul.

It bothered me how Jeremiah just changed his behavior out of nowhere to make Conrad look better. In the first two books, the author portrayed Jeremiah as a kind and easygoing brother. He would always look out for Belly. However, in this third installment, Jeremiah acts like a rude person.

I’m Team Conrad through and through. But Jeremiah seems to be a different person. I understand Belly was an unreliable narrator, and that may be why we view Jeramiah’s transformation as significant. However, I did not appreciate it. Conrad could have fought harder to prove that he was deserving of her.

The audiobook is amazing! Having Lola and Chris narrating the book is perfect. I liked this book! It’s what I was looking for when I grabbed the first book. I’m so glad I kept reading this trilogy.

i honestly just can’t. the ending was so extremely rushed and there was no clarification on conrad’s part at all. i don’t even know what i just read. i do know that if we took out alk of belly’s back and forth, the trilogy would be finished within 30 pages. 

❌ i honestly cannot imagine myself rereading this book ever i’ll be surprised if i do.

I wish there would have been more  of a focus on Conrad and Belly’s relationship in the end! A book #4 would be great. I love their story. I was definitely annoyed with Jeremiah in this book (rightly so)  compared to the first two. Overall, I loved this series and the storytelling the author did.
