She was a fun and interesting character, perfectly executed in first person POV. The characters were relatable and realistic, especially Belly because I could really relate to all the changes she was going through. It was really interesting and it really connected the story by having what happened in summers prior to the book's beginning. The flashback chapters always had a significance pertaining to the previous or next chapter in the present. Like, it would have the chapter open telling what age Belly was during a particular summer. One thing especially amazing about The Summer I Turned Pretty was that it had flashback chapters. And I don't know about you, but I love short chapters because I hate stopping in the middle of a chapter when I'm reading. MY COMMENTS I absolutely loved this book!! One reason I loved it was because the majority of the chapters were short. And when Susannah starts acting weird, Belly doesn't know who to turn to. She doesn't know what to do, especially with new guy Cam and his kind and romantic gestures. In a summer where some things are pretty and some things are not, Belly finds herself on edge. She still sees Jeremiah as just her friend. But all oblivious Belly can see is Conrad and how Conrad has changed, too. Jeremiah keeps giving Belly subtle hints, even when he lopes off with Conrad and Belly's older brother Steven, leaving Belly behind. Belly doesn't think she's any different, but they know she is. Everyone notices Belly's change, even careless Conrad. This summer, Jeremiah sees Belly as not a friend, but. Not like she loves Conrad.īut this summer, everything changes. Belly loves Jeremiah too, but just like a brother. He's the type of guy who loves football (unlike his brother who only plays it because of their dad) and is always looking for fun. The goofy, caring, cute Jeremiah who's always been Belly's best friend. Even though Belly knows this and Conrad all but spells it out for her, she can't help but lust after him. But he's always thought of Belly as a little sister, not someone he'd kiss. Since practically ever, Belly has had a major crush on Conrad, Susannah's eldest (and most handsome) son. But most importantly, Cousins Beach is where Conrad is. It's Belly's favorite place in the whole world and she goes there every summer.
