i thought it was nice to have jeremiah’s perspective! i have a lot to say about the love interest(s)

Spoiler

belly liking two young, kind boys and her heart being so big and full for her little body at her age is just so relatable

!!! i wish we as a society would encourage men to love louder and to thoroughly feel their feels.

Spoiler

susannah dying and her loved ones refusing to allow her essence to die is everything

i loved this book.

I liked this one better than the first in the series, but there were also a lot of parts that were hard for me to get through.

Spoiler

Through them discussing the last days of Beck and her funeral and the feelings immediately after her death, I was reliving my own grief after losing someone to cancer, which was hard. I felt like the book handled it in a good way though. I’m still not sure which of the summer boys I think is a good fit for Belly, but Jenny Han definitely knows how to write a trilogy that keeps you coming back for more.

This is like the New Moon of this series—the super sad, fraught, emo part of the story and honestly, I was here for it. Again, Lola Tung’s narration is fantastic and adds so much to the story.
