I really enjoyed this book. I originally picked it up because I love the To all the boys I’ve loved before series. It’s nothing like that. Belly is a very annoying main character, but personally, I loved how self centered and annoying she was. I thought it was accurate. As someone who grew up spending most of my summer at the beach with other kids, I really loved all of the relatability. I was disappointed that not a lot happens plot wise in the book, but it made me interested enough to get the second book.
