Ok, so, this is my fav book series that I have come across. It is SO realistic, heart-warming, and super sweet. I have found myself wishing that I was Belly SO many times. Of course, like all people, she has some bad moments and sad moments. But overall, she is a truly happy person. After reading this trilogy, the Burn for Burn trilogy, and the T.A.L.B.I.L.B trilogy, Jenny Han is MY FAVORITE author. If you haven't this or any of the other trilogies that I listed, you absolutely HAVE to.
