Belly finds out what comes after falling in love in this follow-up to The Summer I Turned Pretty from the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (soon to be a major motion picture!), Jenny Han. Can summer be truly summer without Cousins Beach? It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer, until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again and Conrad stopped caring. Everything that was right and good has fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come. But when Jeremiah calls saying Conrad has disappeared, Belly knows what she must do to make things right again. And it can only happen back at the beach house, the three of them together, the way things used to be. If this summer really and truly is the last summer, it should end the way it started--at Cousins Beach.

"The book that I most recently read was It's Not Summer Without You, the third book in The Summer I Turned Pretty Series. It was the best book in the series because it had the most events and conflicts. In this book, tragedy strikes and it is Belly's first summer away from Cousin's Beach. When her friend leaves summer school without a trace, Belly and his brother go out to look for him. Of course, they know exactly where he is and find him right away. But he is not happy and very reluctant to go back to school and study for his upcoming finals. In the end, he studies all night and passes his finals. When Belly betrays him though, 2 of them need to make a very difficult decision that could change they're lives forever. Overall, this book was very good and my favorite in the series."

" It was an awesome book.. "
— Kristen, 2/20/2014" Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap. if l hadn't finished this at like midnight, I would gave started the last one asap. "
— Noël, 2/19/2014" This book was added to my FAVORITES pile of books. Reading about another summer Belly went through was exhilrating and passionate as well. Belly goes through intense emotions and harsh love issues with boys and also deals with a loss so terrible, it damaged her friends and family for good. I found myself smiling at the author's writing and I didn't want this to end. Reading the first one was a pleasure, and reading the second of the trilogy was absolutley amazing. I can't wait to read the last one, but I'm also sad that the series would end! I HIGHLY reccomend this to everyone, especially teen girls, and I look foward to reading the third book. "
— Lily, 2/3/2014" Much better than the first book i really felt the tension in billy's situation now .. Conrad is still a jerk i didn't like him in the first book and i still don't .. can't wait for the next book "
— Doha, 1/9/2014" I loved how Jeremiah got in on some of the action on this book. I always favored Jeremiah until Conrad admitted his feelings in the hotel room. :/ Definitely confuses you. "
— Katie, 1/6/2014" Just finished this book. Dont know if i should cry or throw the book at the wall. "
— Zaara, 12/31/2013" Amazing as well! Loved it! "
— Sarah, 12/23/2013" Better than the first one! The tango is irritating me though. "
— Mallory, 12/3/2013" Another great book by Jenny Han!! Don't forget to read the next book and see which guy Belly chooses! "
— Dana, 12/1/2013" this trilogy is amazing..still have to read the last one. But again, this one was just the same.. it was amazing too. Finished it in only 3 days. Amazing series for any girl "
— Sidra, 11/30/2013" its a good book but i was really wasnt that crazy about it. i guess because it not my type of book to read or it was just trying to understanding it "
— Tifinie, 11/26/2013" The second book in the Summer series kept my eyes glued to the page. Yes, it's not fantasy and yes it's realistic fiction but the way Jenny Han sets up the story is so flawless and perfect! I continued to fall in looove with Conrad and Jeremiah continued to make me go "Awww" countless of times. "
— Rach, 11/4/2013" so good! i want more of these books! too bad its only a trilogy "
— Elena, 2/21/2013" Sequel to The Summer I Turned Pretty. Again, I liked the story but there was too much bad language. I'm debating on whether or not to read the last book in the series. Kind of want to finish the story but am sick of the language. Three stars for the story. "
— Christa, 2/3/2013" Oh. My. I was not expecting these books to pull out SO many emotions! There are so many things I'm connecting with. LOVE them! "
— Jennifer, 12/25/2012" also amazing i loved this one! the series just keeps on getting better and better! :) "
— Boo, 11/9/2012" a very touching book for teens. tissues are to be prepared when you plan on reading this, for, I guarantee, you will surely cry your heart out. "
— Lhyra101697, 10/21/2012" Pointless sequel that sorta ruins the first book. Avoid. "
— Nicky, 4/9/2012" I have this love/hate relationship with books where a character can't decide between 2 people. So good to read with all of the conflict and interactions, yet so unbelievably frustrating at the same time! "
— Becky, 1/14/2012" I loved the summer series! I cried so much in this book, you will see why. "
— Chelsea, 12/20/2011" I'm not sure why I like these books so much, it's not that the story is suspenseful or super intriguing but I just love it. I love the characters and I wish I lived bellys life! I also like how easy these books are to read. "
— Cassandra, 11/23/2011" whoa. i thought that she and Conrad would be together forever....that eternity was for her after all. "
— Cici, 7/22/2011" It was super cute, which is what I was hoping for when I picked it up. After reading the intense stuff that Ellen Hopkins wrote, I needed the break and wanted something sweet. This one did make me tear up more than the first one, both in a good way and a bad way. But it was good. "
— Astoria, 6/3/2011" Its a lovely book, which just leaves you captured in the story after each page, i couldn't put it down! I read it in a day or two, and can't wait for the next one! "
— Lydia, 5/22/2011" I couldn't wait to read this sequel, so I ran out and got it at Target. Now the question is, do I go ahead and buy the third book in hardback, even though my books won't match? I don't know if I can wait to see how it all ends up!! "
— Brenda, 5/20/2011" I think this book has captured a first heart break really well and the feeling of losing someone, a most read!!! "
— Tori, 5/13/2011" I'd give this 3.5 stars. I like this series, but feel like nothing really happened in this book. Anxious to get the next one. "
— Maryanne/MA, 5/12/2011" LOVE this series! In this second installment Belly is still confused about her relationship with the Fisher brothers and it gets even more complicated when they all suffer a huge loss. Very emotional and heartbreaking. Great book! "
— Amanda, 5/12/2011" Loved, loved, loved. Best love triangle ever. "
— Michelle, 5/12/2011" I didn't want to read this. Perhaps because I waited a year I actually couldn't put it down. I really liked it. "
— Tara, 5/11/2011" I liked this one better than the first one, this time around. Audio changes everything, doesn't it? "
— Janssen, 5/10/2011" I really enjoyed this book and series. I can hadly wait to read the final book! This book made me laugh, and cry (practically sob) and I could hardly put it down. 5 stars. "
— cassie, 5/8/2011" I STARTED CRYING IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE BOOK, LATER ON I JUST COULD NOT STOPP...:(:(:(...I LUVVV IT..<3<3<3 "
