It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han
emotional
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

First Book of 2025!!
I understood the hype around the first book but this one less so, not that this was a bad book at all I think it was well written and the plots were well fleshed out considering the book is under 300 pages.
But Jenny Han killing off one of the few likeable characters and making Belly and Jeremiah both unlikable. Authough Laurel became a lot better this book and her love for belly was a lot clearer, her moment of realising she hadn't been there when her daughter needed her is something I think a lot of people wish their mothers had.
Fuck you Taylor,
