i feel bad giving it 3 stars but like it wasn’t that good. it was simply good. enjoyble. as a summer book should be? 

am i team conrad or jeremiah? i don’t fucking know. 

i feel like i am more team jeremiah, like he’s better for her but team conrad aah. pls.

***

and like book belly is like so stupid? 😭 why would you kiss him when his mom is literally dying??? why take advantage of that? like i felt the second hand embarrassment. that was a part i really couldn’t stand. on the other side, belly in the series is an icon. haha. 

i also hate taylor. no explanation needed.

cam cameron - poor thing. deserved better.

jeremiah - sweetheart. protect him at all cost. i’ll take him if you don’t want him belly.

conrad - asshole. but we stan. 

laurel and suzannah - iconic duo 

the husbands - assholes

nicole - poor thing just wanted to get laid. belly the cock-blocker
