Jenny Han masterfully captures the raw emotions of Belly, who is grappling with the absence of Conrad and the shifting dynamics of her relationships. The novel delves into the complexities of grief and first love, painting a vivid picture of heartbreak and longing.

The alternating perspectives offer deeper insights into the characters' motivations, adding layers of complexity to the narrative. As Belly navigates her feelings for both Conrad and Jeremiah, readers are forced to confront the ambiguity of love and the challenges of making difficult choices.
