Second in a YA Trilogy

 It's Not Summer Without You Jenny Han 

This was fast paced and easy to consume. We got answers to questions from the previous book. The characters were fully formed and so frustrating; they were believable teenagers. Conrad irritates my soul. He complains about Belly being a kid, but then he acts just like a kid. She asked him to prom and instead of saying no and holding his ground or sucking it up and going with her and having a good time because they were dating he had to be guilt tripped into going by his mom! Then, they get to prom and he ruins her night and acts so horrible that she has to break up with him. And then, at his mom's funeral he's back with his ex-girlfriend! Then, he has the audacity to be upset when he sees her kissing Jeremiah. You can't have it both ways. Yes, he is upset about the death of his mom, but so is she. I do not understand what she sees in him (teenage me does, but adult me is the one reading this book and she doesn't). I am so irritated with this book but I cannot wait to finish the series.
