Welcome to Litsy!

THE FALL I MET HIM!! by brooklyn tingler on amazon kindle is an amazing love story!! go shop now

To my DIL‘s surprise I had neither read the books or watched the series. I changed that with a short weight on the six-hour audio for B1 and immediately followed it up by binging Seaspn1. I‘m always content when I like the book better, and that was true here. It was a simpler story with less drama and snarkiness, but I like the adaption, too (way more supporting character development). Now waiting on B2 before binging S2.

Since the final season of the TV series is currently airing on Amazon Prime I not only want to watch it but I want to read the books the series is based on as well.

Anyways Happy Birthday to author Jenny Han! 🥳

A cute summer read! Really captures the anticipation and angst of summer romances.

I am a huge fan of the show and of her other series, To All the Boys I‘ve Loved Before, so I figured it was finally time to read this series. This book wasn‘t as exciting as the show, but it was still an enjoyable read.

The first half of the book was a little slow and heavy on flashbacks.

I am very much not the audience this book, but my daughter wanted to listen to it on our drive today. I‘m just too old, but I think I would have liked it more if I read it on a sunny beach instead of on a rainy drive down I-95.

This book was so so so so cute.
I will definitely be reading the rest of the series. Belly is just so cool. And she spends so much time thinking she's not, but I really loved her. And just like the show, Team Jeremiah. Everyone can fight me.

It was fine.

This book is all catchy dialogue and sun-kissed imagery. Nothing could be more appropriate in the dog days of summer. One minute, you will feel like you are in the sand at the beach, the next, you will remember exactly how this summer felt when you seemed nowhere near adulthood.....

I selected this title on a whim... Initially I thought it was mildly interesting, but in truth I thought about DNFing it. It wasn't that it wasn't good; it just wasn't engaging me. I was, however, listening to the #audiobook version and I was quite enjoying the narrator. So I kept listening, and before you know it i was at the end. Turns out, I'm glad I didn't DNF it and I'm actually looking forward to picking up the subsequent titles.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I think my book was misprinted somehow. I happened to flip through the book and noticed part of the book got cut off or something 😳😱.

Edit:the rest of the book looks a kids activity book

Started this

I'm sailing through this YA romance. It's pretty cute and reminds me of my summers I spent in Maine as a kid, although I didn't have cute neighbor boys to fawn over. 😂

Thank you to everyone for all the well-wishing on the last post. I got a pretty strong dose of Prednisone and a nebulizer. That paired with 4 days of resting & eating clean seemed to curb this lupus flare. I'm learning what it means to manage this one day at a time. 💜

Ms. Han,
I said I was going to read you last year and the year before that but time and other books just kept getting in the way but now…I‘ve been challenged to finish it by next week! Scholar: I bet you won‘t. Me: Watch and learn young grass hopper!

Great on audible. The narrator took some getting used to.

Next audible

I am a fan of YA romances, and I kind of loved the series on Prime so o read the book. They literally have different endings. I actually preferred the show this time. Very rare.

Belly felt likable and realistic. I could relate to her life as an only girl in the group.

This was really perfect summer read but could have been a bit lighter. I prefer summer books that feel cozy.

I might have had a bit too high expectations for this book. I was surprised how little there happened and I wasn't intrigued to read more.

This wasn't a book for me but at the same time I appreciate how realistic this felt.

My amazing bf got me this series and I couldn‘t resist starting it today. So far, so good! 😊

I guess I need to move this up my TBR, especially since my scholars are reading this in one sitting.

The shadows are me and my husband on our honeymoon in 2021

Part 2

Part 1

Read it because I loved the show love it so emotional

2 years since Amethyst now for those of you who don't know she was my baby I lost through ruptured ectopic pregnancy and almost died.... The summer I turned pretty fanfic I was reading earlier same thing happened in it was like reliving it all over again

So I don't understand why people are saying Conrad left Belly was it different in the books? What I remember is she left him instead of being there for him when he was loosing his mom...

Cute YA read. A quick read too!

I'm sure I would be more rabid about this series if I weren't twice Belly's age, but I get the praise! The drama was delicious, and the characters were realistic depictions of teens. I really felt for Laurel and Beck most of all! Because I'm OLD. #yalit #yaromance
