Last summer, Belly got her wish and things finally started to happen between her and her life-long crush Conrad. Then other things happened, and now no one is going to the cousins house this summer. Belly can’t believe how boring and pointless life at home seems this summer. Taylor, her best friend of many years, tries to help her snap out of her funk over Conrad, but Belly just isn’t into dressing up and can’t bring herself to flirt with other guys. Then Jeremiah calls. Conrad has disappeared from his summer school program and is in danger of failing. He wants Belly to help him find Conrad before he fails completely. They spot Conrad at Cousins, bringing everything full circle. None of them can move forward without sorting their feelings and grief about Susannah's death. And they must band together to save the house and the summer they love.
Anyone who has felt the loss of someone close will understand Belly’s feelings. Hanging on to a longtime crush is not good for anyone, and this story will show hope for Belly’s future. This book is a great summer and beach read with its wonderful setting. Jenny Han will continue to draw fans as she portrays mature, real, thoughtful teens who are about more than flirting and appearance.
