i finished the trilogy in a day. the first and second books were equally amazing but the third one had me in tears, crying over the fact that jere & belly didn't get married and how everyone was coping with the loss of susannah. i have absolutely no words -- this series is heart-wrenching, sad, happy, funny, and just simply amazing. what i would've done to be belly. imagine having two hot brothers fall for you. actually, i don't know. would i want 17 years of fun at the beck house with conrad, jeremiah and steven? yes. i wouldn't have traded anything for it. i'm so glad that i read the books after watching the first season of the summer.i turned pretty because it's imprinted in my mind now. when belly & jere almost got married; when she thoight jeremiah was the one but it's always, always been conrad. how belly and conrad finally got married. conrad's stupid -- he hurt belly so many times and acted like she was his toy -- which she wasn't. he threw away that one perfect summer that they were supposed to have, and susannah-- oh my god, susannah. i wish she was my mom and i wish that i had married one of the fisher boys. i feel guilty though, because i have never loved someone the way belly loved conrad or the way bella loved edwward. maybe jere & belly getting married was a mistake. they were rushing into it and belly truly loved conraad. i'm a little disappointed that belly and jere didn't get up together but i know that her being with conrad is the best choice. she really, really loved con. and i'm sure if susannah was still alive, she would've wanted that for both belly and conrad. i cried so many times while reading this trilogy and i'm proud to say that it's one of my favorites now. so, so, so happy.
