okay so I really liked it and I'm so glad she ended up with who she ended up. I'm team that person (I'm not gonna say who here). 

but I also think that every single character in this series (but especially this book) is a masochist... like, why are you doing this to yourself??? 😭

also I feel like Jeremiah changed so much in this book.... idk how to feel about it.

but either way, can Jenny Han hurry up and write more books??? pretty pls 🙏🏼

This was a wild final installment. There were several points during this book that I had to look around to make sure I wasn't being pranked, and frequently had to verbally express how wild the story was getting. The ending worked out well though but boy it was truely a wild ride. 

When Jeremiah pulled out that ring I was like "okay this is funny why would he think thats a good idea" and when Belly said yes I laughed out loud I could not believe it. As someone who got married last year, I would frequently ask my partner to guess their budget and what kind of choices they were making. Just crazy.

Honestly, this one was so much better than the first two books. Belly seemed a little more mature and not so whiney. It was a little easier to get into. 

Jeremiah  actually seems manipulative in this one. And the ending… W T H. I cried. But also, the ending just wasn’t enough. I’m trying not to spoil anything, but nothing else, with Jeremiah’s and Belly’s event being cancelled? Then straight into Belly and Conrad? It was almost disappointing.

i honestly just can’t. the ending was so extremely rushed and there was no clarification on conrad’s part at all. i don’t even know what i just read. i do know that if we took out alk of belly’s back and forth, the trilogy would be finished within 30 pages. 

❌ i honestly cannot imagine myself rereading this book ever i’ll be surprised if i do.

Ugh. What a horrible ending to a wonderful series. The only
loveable characters here were the side characters, which we didn’t get nearly enough of! They ruined
Belly and Jeremiah.

Jere would NOT have been capable of doing the nasty and careless things he did in this book. I don’t even think he would have actually proposed to Belly! He has always been carefree, not careless. If nothing else, he would have balked at the idea of getting married at 20. Such ridiculousness. I can’t believe Jenny Han ever expected us to believe this. 

I’ve always had a special spot in my heart for Conrad because I could see the pain he experienced over his mother’s death, but I also feel he was way too toxic. Neither of the boys deserved this relationship. Nor did Belly, for that matter - she has always been the most immature of all. 

I also hate the fact that none of Belly’s and Taylor’s issues ever get resolved… at ALL. They were both mean and selfish, and there was never any resolution. It is as if they just forgot what they ever fought about. That being said, I liked their relationship in this book more than the first two combined. Taylor was the friend here that she should have been all along. 

For as much as the author wants us to gun for Conrad, we never get to know him very well… at all. I think I could have rooted for him a lot more if I had actually gotten to KNOW anything about him. Other than the fact that he puts up walls. We get it, he’s an angsty teen. He’s also a one-dimensional character. 

All that being said, the book was not hard to finish at all. Maybe I was fueled by my rage at how far downhill this series went. The only character I ever truly loved from this series was Susannah, so it was nice to have her voice come back a little bit via the wedding notes.

I am glad to be done. I will be bitterly disappointed for eternity.
