When each summer begins, Belly leaves her school life behind and escapes to Cousins Beach, the place she has spent every summer of her life. Not only does the beach house mean home away from home, but her favorite people are there: Susannah, her mother's best friend, and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Belly has been chasing Conrad for as long as she can remember, and more than anything, she hopes this summer will be different. Despite distractions from a new guy named Cam and lingering looks from Conrad's brother, Jeremiah, Belly's heart belongs to Conrad. Will he offer his to her? Will this be the summer that changes everything?
Okay, this is the second time I'm reading this book. I first read it last summer, but in swedish, and now I read it in english. I liked this book even more the second time and the things that annoyed me last year wasn't even there this time. I remember that I thought Belly was a bit immature for example.
This time I also really felt something for Susannah and her boys. Even though Conrad really is a jerk sometimes, he has his own way to deal with things and I can't really blame him for that. I think it's pretty interesting to see the differences between the two brothers, Jeremiah and Conrad. It's like looking at me and my sisters actually. Well, the only character I still doesn't like is Taylor. She is one of the most annoying characters I've ever read about it and I really don't understand why Belly is friends with her.
This book has it all! The characters are amazing and also the setting. When I'm reading this I can picture Cousins Beach in my head so it's a great summer read and if you haven't picked this trilogy up yet - just do!
