Thoughts: I enjoyed seasons 1 & 2 of the Amazon Prime series, so I knew reading this book was a must. I read half of it in paperback and listened to the other half on audiobook due to a busy week. I loved that Lola Tung narrated the audiobook; it made it more enjoyable to listen to. I particularly enjoyed watching Belly navigate her love triangle and seeing how it all unfolded… Team Conrad all the way! The fluff was delightful, and it was such a comforting read. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series!

Synopsis: Everything that happened this past summer, and every summer before it, has all led up to this. To now. Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her favourite place in the world - the Fisher family’s beach house. It has everything a girl could want- a swimming pool, a private stretch of sandy beach and two boys. Unavailable, aloof Conrad - who she’s been in love with forever - and friendly, relaxed Jeremiah, the only one who’s ever really paid her any attention. But this year something is different. This year, the boys seem to really notice Isabel for the first time. It’s going to be an amazing summer - and one she’ll never forget.
