After watching the new TV series, I had to read the trilogy! Although the story and characters are slightly different in the TV show (for example, Belly and her family are from Korean descent; Jeremiah is bisexual; Steven is there throughout the summer; and other things) the overall plot is the same and I really enjoyed it. It was a very quick and easy read and I will be picking up the next two books ahead of the TV show renewal. 
I recommend this series if you are looking for something fun, easy, fast and uplifting.
