About this audiobook
Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from
Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one
wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a wonderful audio book filled with light-hearted moments. Lola's voice brings the spirit of the main character to life and adds so much more character to the story. The book is a sweet and nostalgic coming-of-age story that takes readers back to their own youth. While some parts may feel slow, overall it is a good listen with a twist and gut-wrenching feeling. The ending may not be satisfying for everyone, but the book is still highly recommended for young adults.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narration was rather annoying because she says everything with an audible smile or laugh...and it was too much!! it doesn't work for all the scenes!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good! A fun/serious coming of age story reminiscent of younger years. The timeline is a little confusing because it jumps back and forth between the ages of the narrator of the story, so if you don’t pay careful attention you may not know where you are! Quite engaging, though.
The narrator sounds very much like Emily Woo Zeller…but it’s not! ?1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my comfort series! I love all of the characters and the storyline so much. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the show and I think it follows the book nicely while still adding new to it. Lola’s voice is perfect for the audiobook also!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s 4,5 actually. Great summer reading, great story and great story telling.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love the narrator voice, but it was hard to follow, along with the book when it kept going back into time. In the middle of the book, it was kind of boring until the last handful of chapters, then it started to get a little bit more interesting.I’ve been dying to watch the show, but didn’t wanna watch it till I read the books, so I’m listening to the audiobooks to make it go faster. Can’t wait to start the second book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely coming of age book with a little bit of tear jerker towards the end. Overall a very delightful read, definitely recommend.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5i love that they let Lola do the voice over, it makes it feel more real.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5THE CHARACTERS MAKE THIS BOOK VERY VERY VERY VERY INCREDIBLE
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very sweet story. so nostalgic and made me feel like I was there.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book had some redeeming moments where it was cute but overall I feel like it’s so overhyped. The book jumps around a LOT and sometimes it was hard to keep track of what was present or which events happened first. It also felt like more of it was flashbacks than present day which I didn’t love.
I absolutely hated the ending. Essentially the main character gets caught in a love square and has to pick one of 3 guys. I feel like 2 of the 3 guys the author did a good job of showing chemistry and meaningful connections, but the last guy it seems to be kind of a toxic (weirdly possessive) relationship and the guy just seems to be a jerk all the time. I feel like the book would be better if it were longer but hopefully I’ll enjoy it more as I finish the series
