But he is a snob but after his mother dying he loses it and gets angry at anything but on the other hand Jeremiah is nice , HOT and charming but is more like a brother to Belly but they all are a love triangle but TEAM CONRAD AND TEAM JEREMIAH either im not bothered they both sound really nice x

and Jeremiah is a playa
and Belly is a selfish brat!
I'd rather have the jerk though
honestly
the first book I hated Conrad
the second book I hated Belly
and third I hated Jeremiah
But over all, the books were okay, they did really grasp me so yeah gotta give em 3 stars




He's way to good for selfish Belly. So sad how his character was spoiled in the third book :(
Anyway, he is much more realistic than Conrad's character throughout the books. What I really hated: Conrad could act like the greatest ass on earth- but well, since he is CONRAD, everything would be forgotten immediately.










SPOILER ALERT...I THINK...
That is exactly what i thought. It was kind of wierd for belly to agree to marry jere when she was debating on being his girlfriend or not. Although im kind of glad that jeremiah cheated on her because if he hadnt, they would probably still be together and for me belly and conrad were the better couple, but like you, i also enjoyed jeres personality and i think Jenny Han could have found a different way to do what she did. All in all, i found it the best book of the series.

Just finished and TOTALLY AGREE with you. I think much of the third book was a character assassination. She didnt have to so drastically change Jeremiah. So now Jeremiah is the douche and Conrad isn't!?!? Conrad and his mood swings give me whiplash. Jeremiah was right that he deserved to be someone's first choice. I would have liked him to come to that realization without the new character flaws.
I love Conrad. Even though he was a jerk with problems in the beginning by the end of book two he changed. I felt so bad for Conrad when he walked in on Belly and Jeremiah kissing in the car. I was so glad when he had a POV in the 3rd book! I never really like Jeremiah, i mean he was okay as a friend... also when i found he hooked up with that girl i disliked him even more.

This is a tough question because there are really 2 answers for me. There is the real life answer and there is the fictional answer.
In real life the answer is Jeremiah. All women should want a man that treats them the way Jeremiah did. I'm also *temporarily* setting aside the Ross and Rachel thing (Breakup/cheating). Writers usually have to do something drastic like that to make us pick a side more easily.
Even after adding that drastic step back though, some of us might have been willing to forgive Jeremiah for what he did. It was definitely not within character. I would have been one of them. Jeremiah is the guy we should choose in real life.
On the other hand we've got the dark, mysterious, depressingly sweet Conrad. In fiction this is the guy that ALWAYS gets the girl. I think a big part of the reason is because in real life us women/girls tend to try to change those we love.
Conrad did not treat Belly well. That is a fact. There were times he was going through an incredibly difficult time emotionally and we can use those reasons for him because we understand what he's going through but that doesn't excuse his behavior ALL the time.
There you have my answer. The entire time I was reading the book I was rooting for Conrad at the same time the realist in me felt like I needed a slap in the face for doing so.

i agree with you so much! after the 3rd book i was left thinking this too!!!




Jeremiah is funny and sweet. Belly should go out with him.


Personally, i love conrad and his 'ass-hat' ways :)"
I love love love Jere but he wasn't the guy for Belly, that was Conrad. I was back and forth in the beginning between who she should choose, but after what Jere did in Cabo, I was team Conrad till the end.


Personally, i love conrad and his 'ass-hat' ways :)"
Instantly Conrad he was so selfless stepping out of the way of Jeremiah and Belly. I know he told her he loved her hours before their wedding, but before that he put himself through so much pain [watching Jeremiah and Belly date for two years] just so she could be happy and he knew that he would hurt her if they started a relationship he put her heart first and suffered heartbreak just so she didn't have too. I choose Conrad because he was way too considerate to be pushed aside like he was nothing. he was clearly the one. Plus Jeremiah was annoying and corny at times. Jeremiah was trying to convince himself the whole time that Belly liked him more then Conrad but deep down he knew she would always be in love with Conrad. Always. Lets not forget also cheated on her then proposed to her out of guilt. He was just selfish and didn't want to see Conrad happy because he knew that Belly truly loved Conrad and not him.

yeah hes a super jerk but he always loved belly way before jeremiah
he is bipolar and probably suicidal
he never wanted to hurt belly by being with her when they were younger because he was in love with her from age 14 on
jeremiah is of course a dream guy.....but he isn't always loyal and he is not unconditanilly in love with her
does no one remember the letter from beck his mom ?????
