I recommend this book if you like:
-YA romance
-teen angst
-dealing with bereavement

This book was entertaining and explored complexity of teen relationships, crushes, friendships and bereavement of a close family friend. This second book in the trilogy focused more on Isabel, Conrad and Jeremiah. It is left on a cliffhanger of which boy Bels should go for and I am looking forward to reading the final instalment and watching this story unfold on TV.

Belly’s dreams had come true when she kind of, sort of, dated Conrad. But Conrad being Conrad, things faded and Belly wasn’t ever sure of his true emotions and whether he really cared.

 
Conrad runs off from summer school at college to prevent his dad from selling his late mum’s beloved beach house. Jeremiah and Belly come to rescue Conrad and end up rescuing the house with a little help from Belly’s mum.

 
The boy’s dad strikes a deal, the beach house can stay if Conrad aces summer school. So Jere and Belly help him study as much as they can.

 
Jere has aways liked Belly but she has been oblivious, so when he kisses her, she is taken by surprise but isn’t put off. That is until Conrad sees them. Belly is torn. Conrad later admits that he does care about her and now Belly is stuck between the two Fisher boys.
