We'll always have summer

Honestly it was kinda meh. I wish you could’ve heard more about when she was in Spain (not Paris) the ending felt a little rushed but it was kind of meh overall

Even though there was no Paris. I LOVED IT.

Out of 3 books, this one was the most unremarkable. I’m currently watching the show and they did such a good job at dramatizing and making you care when I feel this book left a lot to be desired. 80% of this book was an argument and only the last 20% stuff actually happened. 

Still not a bad book though. Like all the others it was short and sweet. It did what it needed too for a YA.

This was the saddest one to read relationship wise. I definitely know that pain of longing a little too well. I was team Jeremiah but honestly it makes most sense for her and Conrad. I’m always a sucker for a first love and last love romance ugh: my heart.

I finished this in a matter of hours with much stress. I don’t know how I feel about this as the finale to the series, there was too much left unsettled. My final consensus is I hate Jeremiah and Connie baby is and will always be my boi also not enough about Susannah and Laurel. The end.

book three was so unnecessary. i want to sue Jenny Han for stressing my brain.

Just when she thought she had all the answers . . . Isabel has only ever loved two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. One broke her heart; the other made her happier than she ever thought she'd be. But each brother is keeping a secret, and this summer Isabel must choose between the Fisher boys, once and for all. Which brother will it be? 'This book has what every girl wants in a summer.'

like i think this was probably my fav book from this trilogy, even tho i hate jeremiah to my guts but love conrad with all in me. susannah was right all along about with who belly was going to end up with. i cried a lot on this book idk why lol 

- “I would sing my eight-nine-ten-year-old heart out. But I wasn’t singing to Conrad Birdie. I was singing to my Conrad. Conrad Beck Fisher, the boy of my preteen dreams. I’ve only ever loved two boys—both of them with the last name Fisher. Conrad was first, and I loved him in a way that you can really only do the first time around. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t know better and doesn’t want to—it’s dizzy and foolish and fierce. That kind of love is really a one-time-only thing.”

- “This is between me and Belly. Smug piece of shit.
He was marrying my girl, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I just had to watch it happen, because he was my brother, because I promised. Take care of him, Connie. I’m counting on you.”

- “There was. I’d stayed away for two years. I had to. I knew I shouldn’t even be at the summer house, because being there, being near her, I would just want what I couldn’t have. It was dangerous. She was the one person I didn’t trust myself around.”

- “I did lie to Belly, though. Just that one time in that crappy motel. I did it to protect her. That’s what I kept telling myself. Still, if there was one moment in my life I could redo, one moment out of all the shitty moments, that was the one I’d pick. When I thought back to the look on her face—the way it just crumpled, how she’d sucked in her lips and wrinkled her nose to keep the hurt from showing—it killed me. God, if I could, I’d go back to that moment and say all the right things, I’d tell her I loved her, I’d make it so that she never looked that way again.”

- “That night in the motel, I didn’t sleep. I went over and over everything that had ever happened between us. I couldn’t keep doing it, going back and forth, holding her close and then pushing her away. It wasn’t right.”

- “For my birthday that August, Conrad gave me a glass unicorn. Not the small one, but the big one that cost twenty dollars. Its horn broke off during one of Jeremiah and Steven’s wrestling matches, but I kept it. I kept it right on top of my bureau. How could I have thrown such a gift away?”

- “I still love you.”
 “Don’t say that.”
He took a step closer. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get you out of my system, not completely. I have . . . this feeling. That you’ll always be there. Here.” Conrad clawed at his heart and then dropped his hand. 
“It’s only because I’m marrying Jeremiah.”“That’s why you’re saying all this all of a sudden.”
“It’s not all of a sudden,” he said, his eyes locked on mine. “It’s always.”

- “That night, I didn’t sleep at all. I stayed up, thinking about what to do. What was the right thing to do? Because I knew I loved you. But I knew I shouldn’t. I didn’t have the right to love anybody then. After my mom died, I was so pissed off. I had this anger in me all the time. I felt like I was going to erupt any minute.”
“I didn’t have it in me to love you the way you deserved. But I knew who did. Jere. He loved you. If I kept you with me, I was going to hurt you somehow. I knew it. I couldn’t have it. So I let you go.”

- “I still love you. I never stopped. I think you know it. I think you’ve known it all along.”

- “Conrad, who told me he loved me. At last, he said the words. When Conrad Fisher told a girl he loved her, he meant it. A girl could believe in that. A girl could maybe even bet her whole life on it.”

- “It belongs to you, always has. I was too afraid to give it to you then. Consider it an early birthday gift. Or a belated one. You can do whatever you want with it. I just—can’t keep it anymore.”

- “I need you to know that no matter what happens, it was worth it to me. Being with you, loving you. It was all worth it.”

- “So no, he didn’t give me flowers or candy. He gave me the moon and the stars. Infinity.”

- “My young man is kind and good and strong, just like you said. But he doesn’t kiss me like Rhett kissed Scarlett. He kisses me even better. And there’s one other thing you were right about. He does have the last name Fisher.”

- “If you dare try and Belly Flop me right now, you’re going down with me,”
“I go wherever you go,”

This is our start. This is the moment it becomes real. We are married. We are infinite. Me and Conrad. The first boy I ever slow danced with, ever cried over. Ever loved.”

- “I saw Junior Mint sitting on the bookshelf, looking incredibly pathetic. Remember him? Polar bear, wears glasses and a very stylish scarf? I won him for you at the ring toss? Do you remember how you used to go over to the ring toss and just stare at the polar bears because you wanted one so bad? I probably spent thirty or forty bucks trying to win you that damn bear.”

- “Merry Christmas, Belly. Remember last year? Me and you at the summerhouse? Best Christmas of my life.”

- “And yes. I do remember. Of course I remember. It was my best Christmas, too.”
