It's Not Summer Without You

good fr

Honestly better than the first one. It got a tiny bit repetitive at times but the story was really interesting.

Team Jer but I love them both

It was upon reading the first few chapters that I realized that I did in fact read this series at least a decade ago… clearly wasn’t super memorable for me.,

I did like this book more than the first but at times the characters just really annoyed me.

take me to cousins beach rn

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.

eh… 2,75 stars ⭐️
