    All of my friends have read this book and have told me great things about it. I finally decided that I needed to read it and I’m very glad that I did. This book what sooooo good!!! I loved the plot of it and I loved it so much that I ended up finishing it within 2 days!!! My only complaint is that it does have some things like underage drinking and smoking, but I definitely recommend this book for girls 12 and older!!!🌞🌊💗👙🌅🏝️🐚

    Read this after watching the show. The writing isn’t great and not a whole lot happens. Kind of surprised it was made a tv show, but that being said, the TV show is highly addictive.

    Definitely a younger genre. The characters are simple and the storyline predictable. I read because of all the hype but I was honestly bored and craving more depth to the characters. Han is a good writer - but not a great storyteller.

    I absolutely LOVED this book. It was great and fun! Even though Belly could be a little annoying at times. I heard great things about this book and I guess you could say it lived up to my expectations! I don’t really understand why Conrad is so awesome though. He’s a little mean and annoying at times. So team Jeremiah here, I love how much he cares about Belly! I didn’t really like the cursing or smoking and stuff, but not everything can be perfect. I don’t think this book should be for 7th and up because I’m in 7th grade and this book is probably not something I should be reading… But I definitely think like high school and up! I don’t want to hurt anyones feelings here, but can we please not insult the author and tell them they shouldn’t have written this book because you just don’t have the same opinion. Like I don’t like graphic novels (no hate!) but I know a lot of people who do. Everyone thinks differently and that’s okay. Not trying to hate here JUST wanted to say. Anyways this book was great and I can’t wait to watch the show soon!!! ❤️🌹❤️🌹
  • Overhyped and bad writing quality

    The book basically did the opposite of show don’t tell which is like the #1 rule in writing. Everyone always says that TSITP is amazing but tbh it’s really not. I didn’t like the characters and I don’t really understand what everyone sees in this. I probably would have enjoyed this more had I read it before other books like The Inheritance Games and Powerless.

    This book is so much more then what people say. As someone with friends who have read the book or seen the show I could not have imagined how much I would love it. I’m so happy I didn’t watch the show first and now I’m off to the next Summer I Turned Pretty book! 🩷
