The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han - Restarting November 20th 2016

[Christina]

Apparently it's Isabelle Isabel

[Christina]

Chapter 18- (view spoiler)[I get a little confused as the chapters alternate between Belly's childhood and the present

I'm having trouble believing Taylor Jewel is her friend. Belly seems to hate her! (hide spoiler)]

[Kina]

Chapter 21. (view spoiler)[ Her name is Isabel. She says it when she meets this guy from her middle school named Cam. I love the story behind how Belly got her nickname. It's very cute.
I don't think Taylor is truly her friend either. She knew Belly was obsessed with Conrad, yet she wanted to get with him.
I can't wait to see what comes of Belly and Cam. (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 21 (view spoiler)[Cam seems like a nice guy. Conrad is being annoying, always telling Belly what to do like a dad. It seems like Belly isn't the type to have close girlfriends because she's jealous of any girl that gets close to Jeremiah or Conrad (hide spoiler)]

[Kina]

Sorry, today has been a busy day for me. I haven't gotten much reading done.
Chapter 24- (view spoiler)[ I love how Cam notice that the dress Belly wore to the Latin conversation made her eyes look blue. Belly always felt unnoticed, and a complete stranger noticed something so small.
I hate how she compares Cam to Conrad and Jeremiah. she expects him to do what they would do. Cam gave her a beautiful compliment and she doesn't believe him because of the boys. (hide spoiler)]

[Kina]

Chapter 34- (view spoiler)[ How embarrassing to get your period in public, and in front of a group of boys. I think I would've died. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[yeah! that was so cute how he noticed her that way but all she remember is being an awkward looking teenager! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[Seriously how is Belly even friends with Taylor! I still don't get it. It was kind of weird how she got with Steven (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

Chapter 34 - (view spoiler)[Somehow I'm thinking what Susannah has to tell the boys isn't about her divorce..
Belly has been spending a lot of time with Cam. But is she really over Conrad? I don't like the way Conrad's behaving (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End- (view spoiler)[Hmm it was rude of Belly to break things off with Cam without telling him... I guess it's all for the best

It looks like she and Conrad kind of got together. Poor Jeremiah though - he had feelings for her but he just has to cover it up now with his happy facade.

It was sad how Susannah's cancer came back. I like how it made Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah closer though.

Susannah treats Belly like a daughter and it was kind of annoying how Belly got annoyed at her mum (it was surprising that the dress that was left in her suitcase years ago was actually a present from her mum). (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Nikinnia
Are you interested in buddying the sequel in May?

Finished (view spoiler)[ I think Belly was just annoying period. I'm not a big fan of her. She was very indecisive, bratty, and self-centered. She could never decide on anything it seemed to me.

I felt horrible for Cam. She really screwed him over. I felt that he was actually in love with her. Through all her drama he still wanted her.

How awkward it will be for Jeremiah now that Belly and Conrad are together. First he loses Taylor to Steven, and now Belly to Conrad.

You were right about it not being the divorce. :-)
I'm not looking forward to when Susannah dies. She is such a kind, loving person. (hide spoiler)]

Yes definitely. Want to buddy the whole series? Any dates are fine with me.

@nikinnia
(view spoiler)[I kept waiting for Cam to break her heart but it happened the other way round! (hide spoiler)]
Sure! I'll let you know towards the end of this month :)
