We'll Always Have Summer
discussion
First Chapter

I totally agree with you the book was soooo great, but the last few pages were so so brief that it almost ruined the entire thing for me. I mean I still love the story and the characters and I will probably be reading this series again and again for years to come. But seriously!!! two pages to explain all that stuff, I was very disappointed.
Yeah Mia it almost ruined the book for me but that very last sentences pretty much saved it<3

agreed as well. I just read it and i felt like we waited the whole entire book to finally find out who she was going to end up with and then all we get is a brief summary of where her life went. Idk. i still loved the book, i just wish the ending would have been a little longer.

Jenny Han picked out the white dress that the model in We'll Always Have Summer is wearing. isn't that cool? aha :)
and yeah, I hope she writes more. but someone i doubt it ah D:


lol thats what i did now i'm reading it from the start even tho i already kno waht will happen
awww guys that just ruinss it!!(;

OMG! i thought the same thing! It was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too brief. I wish she could've added detail on how he proposed to her, or wrote how the whole wedding went or even like when they saw each other at the graduation. I didn't feel enough closure! Oh and i also wish we could've read what those letters said when he sent them to her in Spain or even the letter that Susannah wrote to him. WAAAAHHH.

I KNOW! at the end i was like, she better be writing some kind of epilogue or prequel, i was so sad! SUCH a bitter sweet ending. I hate bitter sweet endings, they make me feel too much emotion. Hahah

totally! if only it wasn't so brief.. it would have been perfect! haha



Thank you for finally summing up what I feel about the book.



IKR??? Agree with you 150%!! Didnt feel the whole closure thing!! I wish we got to see 1.)His freaking PROPOSAL (Conrads)!!!!!! 2.) The wedding and 3.) Where they went from there on out like say maybe um KIDS?!?!?!?!?!
Uh. But hey loved it either way at least we KNOW they got married and w/e. Just wish we got just a SMUDGE more detail!! You know? Wouldnt it be FREAKING AMAZING if Jenny unexpectedly wrote a surprise FORTH book?!?!

I totally agree with you!!!!!
I wish we could have more details on everything that happened in between the "couple years later"!! And maybe after they got married!
That would be so much better :) Forth book would be amazing, Jenny Han!

What happen when they finally meet again?? What did he write about in the latter? All the feeling and thoughts !! i would love to read it!
Forth book, jenny han, hint hint**

Like Conrad's letter from Susannah and whether Belly saved her virginity for him. How Conrad engaged in conversation with her through a letter after their goodbye at the almost-wedding. Conrad and Belly meeting again. How he proposed. If they have kids and how Jere and Belly resolved their issues. Who Jere's date was to Belly's wedding. Also if Steven ever found someone. He is Belly's older brother and you never see him in a serious relationship.
I need answers!
I agree with everyone of u guys olga taylor and stormy!! like i wanna c everything that she summarized and put it into more detail and i want to know later on kidds?? ahahaha but that wuld absolutly be AMAZINGG IF SHE MADE A FOURTH BOOK!!! it would make me like 7645063286909274 more timess satisfied(;

She didn't mention anything about who she thinks should play Conrand :(
But Hunter Parrish is awesome for Jeremiah :)

And i feel like a lot of the movie makers haven't been coming up with their own ideas to make a movie, they've been taking a lot of the books ideas like, Mortal instruments, shiver, hunger games..etc. But i dunno that could just be me


i like daveigh alot better than chloe(she just looks more like the girl i picture in my head) and i really hope that they dont make it into a movie because they could ruin it....just like twilight. but i also wish they would because i really wanna c these characters come to life(or the big screen:) ) i really wanted to hear who jenny wanted conrads actor to but thats ok...mayb in the future i could definetly picture hunter parrish as jeremiah but i kinda would like to c just a fresh actor who hasnt been in many big movies...to me they always seem better in movies based on books...?? if that makes any sense..(: well lets hope they make a movie and if they do lets hope it will b amazing(: <3

I REALLY hope they don't make it into a movie either. I don't know why authors agree to let their books be turned into movies because 99.9 % of the time they ruin the book, case and point "Twilight Series." I really love the summer series and having it turned into a movie will suck. One of my favorite things about reading is that you can let your imagination come up with what the characters look like, you can create the settings in your head, you can immerse yourself in the characters' world, but when a great book is turned into a movie it ruins all of that.
I already know what Conrad, Jere and Belly look like, I know what the beach house looks like because I can picture them in my head. I don't need to be told by some film studio what my favorite characters look and act and sound like.

I feel exactly the same way about you on on some of the things you said, I mean can't the directors come up with something on their own? like seriously, they keep stealing a bunch of authors ideas and turning them into a movie! grr, and they always end up disappointing me, and then ruin the books for me too! :/ Sooo i really hope they don't turn this into a movie, i think i'd just be happy if Jenny made an epilogue or something that describes more detail in the end of the story

agreed....i hope she makes an epilouge.....or even better a surprise book(:

Maybe Matt Lanter as Conrad? (IK he's 28 and Collins is 22 But my parents are six years in age difference too!)
And Hunter Parrish as Jeremiah and
Cameron Diaz as Susannah? Anybody agree with me??

and for the rest i dont know
anyine have any idea?for conrad and steven


I really want Jenny Han to write another book!lol

So true. I thought i was the only one who felt that way. I doubt the screenplay will get picked up. I guess the producer people prefer actionish adventure movies more like hunger games, mortal instruments to name a few. I was so excited abt if i stay by gayle forman and it had a cast and everything but it just ended.
