We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han
The ending was a little rushed, but overall a good finale to the trilogy. I ended book 2 pissed at Conrad and started book 3 pissed at Jeremiah. How are you going to say you love Belly, that it's always been her, and then literally the first chance you get you sleep with someone else?! That is abominable! And then, you decide the only way to make it right, to convince her that you will never do anything horrible ever again is to get married?! I understand Belly. If you, as a teenage girl, haven't made a horrible decision over a boy, were you even really having a true teenage experience? No. No, you weren't. But, damn. And then, he has the gall, the unmitigated audacity to be mad at her for not telling him that she spent a few days in the same house as Conrad over winter break and didn't even see him? Boy, bye. And he throws this tantrum ON THEIR WEDDING DAY. Conrad is the one that finds him. And what does Jeremiah do? Punches his brother, IN THE FACE, and tells him that he can never see Belly again. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Thank god they didn't actually get married. Belly got to have a real college experience. Conrad wrote her letters, which she mostly ignored, and then they ended up getting back together later (not later enough; 23 isn't hardly grown enough, but it's better than 18) and get married and Jeremiah shows up. I feel like every teenage girl everywhere should read this so that they don't try to make the same mistakes that Belly makes because this was so real and relatable. I was so mad at Jeremiah. I was so mad at Belly. I was mad at teenage me for falling into teenage love and making stupid decisions over a boy. Good grief.
