Review: It's Not Summer Without You

 * Book 2 in the Summer series * 

Summer will never be the same again. When Susannah relapsed and died, everything fell apart.

Now Belly's at home - missing every summer that's come before - missing the beach house, Susannah, and the boys.

She and Conrad haven't been together for months, but she can't stop thinking of him. When Jeremiah calls with the news that Conrad's gone missing, Belly wants to help find him. Maybe seeing him again will finally bring her closure.

My Thoughts: I loved this book; I tore through it not wanting to put it down. It made me have all the feels - sadness, heartache, heartbreak, and a smile through the tears. I liked the timeline and how it unfolded. I liked uncovering the details of what happened between Belly and Conrad.  I liked seeing the summer house again, even under these circumstances.  I wanted the final book in the trilogy immediately after reading this one!

Review: Summer I Turned Pretty

 * first book in a trilogy*

Belly lives for summer. Her family's been going to the summer house for years with family friends. She's been tagging along after her brother and his two friends forever.

Now she's 16.

Boys are starting to look at her - just not the boy she wants. Her brother's not there for most of the summer. She has Conrad and Jeremiah all to herself. Could this be the summer that changes Everything?

My Thoughts: I've been meaning to read this book for ages - people have been talking about it forever. Everyone was right, I couldn't put this book down. I loved the shifts in time and how they are woven together. I liked learning about Belly's relationships with the brothers while growing up. In some ways, it was the perfect childhood, but in others I felt bad for Belly, always trying to be part of the group, but always too young. This book tugged at all my heartstrings - making me laugh, making me want to cry, and giving me hope. I can't wait to finish the rest of the trilogy. If you haven't read this - go read it now!
