Ahhhh, this is such a cutesy, short, summery & sweet story.
I’ll be definitely reading the next two books.
Can’t wait to want her the series.

I wrote a review last night but I don’t know what happened to it so here’s the new review:


I finally finished this book. Yes it took me too long considering how short the chapters are, but I’m a slow reader, especially when I read on my phone. I loved this book. The whole storyline was cute and interesting and so easy to read and understand. I loved the dynamic between the characters. I don’t really know what the vibe/aesthetic of these books is, but in my head it’s something like old money and I love it. I finally can watch the show! I knew I was going to be team CONRAD from the very beginning and I was right. I hope the other two books are as good or even better. And I hope that I will read them. I don’t know about you, but I have a problem with finishing book series. I’ve always had it. I read the first book and never read the others. I should stop starting series, but I can’t :)

A honest review;

unlike many other reviews i actually enjoyed reading thus book. Its an easy read and you can easily read it in one sitting.
The plot is good, its easy written it overal is a good book.
Although i have a opninion on belly (isabella).
How much i loved belly in the prime video serie i sometimes was little bit irritated by her personality.
Especially when it comes to her mother laurel. She doesnt seem to appreciate her mother as much as she should. Its always susannah, and i get that susannah is a great character and i love her but c’mon laurel is her mother and she has zero apprecatiom for her. She really takes her for granted. That made me a bit sad.

Also somtimes belly has the habit to think that the world evolves around her, that everything has something to do with her. Sometimes she gets it so bad she almost seems selfish? Also is some conversations with cam it seems like she has zero intrest in him and just wants to make conrad jealous? Could be wrong but imo it seems that way.

But all together i think it actually is a really good book especially when u are just getting into reading or want to start reading in english cause its an easy read!
I think jenny han did a great job on this one and im very excited to read its not summer without you and we’ll always have summer! < 3

A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

- conrad sucks ass
- cam deserved better
