So I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. First, let me tell you that I really like Jenny Han's writing style. That did save the book for me. It reads easily. BUT THIS BOOK, NO. Again the writing style is fine. BUT THE STORY. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE. Jere... My god. What an idiot. He cheated, she mad (understandable), he desperately tries to make up, she needs distance (again understandable), she invites him... HE ASKS HER TO MARRY HIM. THAT'S ALREADY FUCKING CRAZY AND SHE SAYS FUCKING YES. THIS IS NOT THE BELLY I KNOW. I think Jenny Han wanted the book to be unpredictable, but in the end it was still predictable and you only pissed me off.
