well i think the conflict will be for belly is who to end up withand they will go back ot the summer
house
I'm soooooo excited for the final book!!!!! I love these books!!! i wonder who belly is gonna end up with? I hope it's CONRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Jenny said that Belly will be an adult, 20+ years old, so I guess we will see the love triangle as adults. Perhaps she's engaged to Jeremiah? And still has feelings for Conrad?
are you serious how do you know
I've read an interview with Jenny Han where she says that Belly will be over 20: http://www.bokhora.se/blog/allmant/20...It's in Swedish though.
what? Belly will be 20+ ? Thats gonna suck :|
I think it's gonna be fun to see her a few years older, perhaps right when she's graduated college or something. I'm sure there'll be lots of flashbacks, like in the first two books :3 Especially since it's YA, it's gonna be fun with an adult narrator, that's very rare.
I hope they have flashbacks.God i just want the book right now. I cant wait 7 more months :|
neither can i i'm gonna go insane
yeah this is like hell without the book =/
i'm just going to keep rereading the first two.
yeah i thought the same!!! plus in that way we keep every detail in mind when the third book comes out!!!!
You should start reading the first 2 books before the 3rd one comes out, then you'll remember everything. And it was seem as if its one big book
yeah, i did that before the second one came out. but i've still read both books 5 times already. it never gets old.
same here because its one of those books where you not just reading but your feeling what they feel
Well yeah in this novel Belly will be in her early twenties because of what we all read in the last part of “Its Not summer Without You“, “A couple years later”. I don’t see anything wrong with seeing Belly as an adult. Everyone grows up and its cool Jenny Han is writing a series like this. I wouldn’t complain if I were you. I think this cover says something by having just Belly on the cover, like she is really growing up and being independent by not needing Conrad as her #1. Belly should be in college in this book. But I cannot wait for this book. I keep reading the first 2. I’ve read those books about 20 times each. Literally, I can’t get enough.
yea you just said what ive been trying to put together in my head it like by being alone on the cover shes growin as a person and is more depented on herself intead of others
Yeah I didn't notice that before. When I saw her alone on the cover all I thought was "Oh no! Does she end up alone?" I didn't think of it as she's just more independent, and she doesn't necessarily have to rely on Jeremiah or Conrad to dictate her future happiness. But Team Conrad! I don't actually think that she was going off to get married at the end of the second one...I mean..she's still in college. I just think she meant like "this wasn't how I'd picture getting with _____" (that blank signifies either J or Con, btw).And I love, love, love Jeremiah, don't get me wrong, I think he loves and cares for her and would be so good to her, exactly what she deserves...but for me there's that 'unattainable' attractiveness about Conrad, like you can never quit figure him out, but I think in a way Belly can and that's why they're so good for each other, if he can grow up! I also really hope it has some chapters based either in Laurel's POV or Conrad's. That is something we haven't seen yet and I think it would be really interesting ( and possibly amusing) to get inside that boy's head!!!!
I so agree with you. I just hope she ends up with either Jere or Conrad (preferably conrad), not some other totally random dude. I hope the book comes out sooner.
o god i hope she doesn't end up with cam lmao!ive been reading each book once before i go to bed for a month now!my friends call me belly lol. i don't know if i can wait another 7 months im goin 2 new york 2day anyway thats where jenny han lives maybe ill barge in to her house and demand to know what ahppens haha
I KNOW! The months are killing me. She just turned in the book like 3/4 days ago, so HOPEFULLY a book description will be up by October? Haha I stalk her like crazyyyy, but I just can't help it! These are by far one of my favorite series of all time.
of course there will be Jere and Conrad drama...but she will choose someonethey will (hopefully) grow up a bit
not prediction comment: I hope Jenny Han includes Steven a little more in the next book because I felt really really bad that he had no clue what was going on, and he is part of their "family" (he should be included too).
She did? Ahhhh that is great news. Where did you find that out?
its my favorite too and i am glad to known that i am not the only Jenny Han stalker...twitter, tumblr, and other blog.
they were just predictions and hopes :)
You are not alone! Haha I don't have a twitter but I check her tumblr at LEAST once a day and her website too, which she hasn't updated in a while..BUTahhhh! And to the deadline on the book: false. She passed her deadline, but she's still working on the book. She needs to hurry so we can get a description!
i think that she abousluty has to end up with conrad shes loved him since the very beginning and that saying love means never having to say your sorry,well i think that with belly and conrad he never said sorry but you would know he was so did belly
I love her tumblr page :)
YOU KKNOW I WAS THINKING MAYBE ITS NOT HER WEDDING BUT STEVENS HER BROTHERS TO THAT GIRL FROM ITS NOT SUMMER WITHOUT YOU!! THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE RIGHT! I MEAN SHE WEARING A DRESS HE'S WEARING A TUX? idk i just thought of that
yea Jordan that makes sense!!!!
haha and also you know how in the summer i turned pretty wen she kisses conrad and she says its not an earthshattering kiss but wen she kisses jere it is just sayin
yea i no i was kinda disappointed at that but if shes meant for Jere shes meant for Jere but i cant help but want Conrad :)
Maybe she doesn't end with either one? :O The title could be referring to how she and Conrad as well as Jeremiah will always have the summer. It was their tradition when they were kids and they'll carry that on when they have families of their own. But the ending of the last book has me leaning more towards Jeremiah. Gah, this book is soo far away! I'm still desperately waiting for an official summary for this one. :(

I thought for sure she'd have one up by now, I hope its here before the new year or I'm going to go crazy!!
i know right! i mean is she finished with the book? because everyone says she is but theres no summary or anything out yet!
I really have no idea how this series will end.......... it could go anywhere. But I do know that Belly should end up with Conrad - they are meant to be together. I agree with the those people on other discussions on here who have said that Jeremiah is the safe choice, he is, but who wants safe? Belly shouldn't settle for safe.............it's not what she wants or needs. What she wants and needs is Conrad. And I believe that Belly is what Conrad wants and needs too. I just hope that if Belly and Conrad do end up together that her friendship with Jeremiah doesn't suffer. Belly needs Jeremiah too (but only as a friend) and he's such a good guy.
But hey, they are just my thoughts and opinions - I guess time will tell but I hope Belly finally grows up in the last book. She acted pretty immaturely in the first two books which was quite understandable as she was only very young (although I still can't believe she acted the way she did at Susannah's funeral - it was unforgivable). But by the third book I think it's time she grew up and started acting like an adult. I don't want her sulking and having tantrums and saying horrible things to the people she loves.
Team Conrad all the way!!!

Yeah Belly shouldent play it safe so i agree with you:)
Has anyone noticed on Jenny's home page that there's a B.C + C.F written in a love heart? Is it a clue???? I really hope so! But regardless of who she ends up with this series is just awesome and I can't wait to read the last installment.
Actully i noticed that to i hope its a clue!
Me too! Just read the summary and it sounds so good. There's still hope for Belly and Conrad to be together!
I agree with the person that said it might not be their wedding. I can't remember - was Belly wearing white?Has anyone thought that Belly might not end up with either one of them? I would hate for that to happen but it is a twist. I'm Team "Jerad" because I can't really decide who I like better for her. (But Jeremiah's name is first because I favor him just slightly.)
I love this kind of love triangle because whoever she ends up with I'll be happy. The ending will be bittersweet either way.
oh my god the summary is out :)cant cant cant wait for the book
Have you guys read the plot on simon and schuster.net? (AKA the book company that prints/distributes and technically owns The Summer Series?) Heres a link. Personally, i like this one better but thought id show it to you guys. http://books.simonandschuster.net/We&...
Why is this summary different than the others??^
Sarah77 wrote: "Why is this summary different than the others??^"IDK. I've been wondering the same thing. I've been thinking that since they're the company that sells and has the rights to the books and all that that maybe this is maybe A.) A more detailed plot of the story or B.) Conrads plot/part of the story. His POV of the book. IDK thats my theory. Oh! Has anybody heard anything about the POVs for We'll Always have summer? If whether or not any of it is gonna be Conrads POV? Or his and Belly's? Cuz really it wouldnt make sense if it wasnt since the first one was in just Belly's, the second in Belly AND jeremiahs and none of it Conrads.
^^ i know it'll definently have bellys pov but i also think that there going to be conrad because it like as too since they had jeremiah and we saw how he felt so we need to see how conrad feels. i hope it doe o that way we can get inside that frustrating beautiful mind of his!
I have been wondering about the points of view too. I am hoping Jenny Han is going to use Conrad's POV to help explain his behavior and his feelings because he certainly isn't capable of speaking them himself. I really also want to know what was going on in his head during certain past scenes, like maybe his POV of Jere and Belly kissing and what is going on in his head at prom etc.
