It was Steven's ringtone, a Taylor Swift song he pretended to hate but secretly loved.

“Don't cuss." she said, the corners of her mouth turn- ing up. 

We pulled into the gas station parking lot, and while Jeremiah filled the car up and Conrad napped, I ran into the convenience store. I got Jeremiah and me both Slurpees, half Coke and half cherry, a combination I had perfected over the years.

I didn’t want to make the same mistakes my parents made. I didn’t want my love to fade away one day like an old scar. I wanted it to burn forever.

౨ৎ | “i hated him more than anything. i loved him more than anything. because, he was everything. and i hated that, too.”

okay so everyone annoyed me this book. but getting jeremiahs POV god lord he sounds so entitled. like we get it you wish you were your brother. 

conrad was also a dick like just COMMUNICATE. like for the ugh i cant even.

It's Not Summer Without You is much better than the first book in the series. When a loved one dies, it is so easy for your head to become clouded, to not think straight at all. In the last book, I thought Belly's actions were incredibly immature. In this book, Belly's actions are still questionable but can be seen as understandable given Susannah's death--everyone's actions were. Her relationship with Conrad was ill-defined, and I strongly related to how much that hurts as well. Belly and Conrad need to learn how to communicate their feelings and needs, but that's part of growing up. Also, Laurel just #girlbosses in this book so hard. I respect it, and I'm glad that Belly is learning to appreciate Laurel. Susannah is to Belly what Laurel is to Conrad.
