It picks up Belly's story as she faces one of the most difficult decisions of her life—choosing between the two boys she has loved: Jeremiah and Conrad. This coming-of-age story deals with love, loss, and the complicated relationships that define our most formative years.
Belly has spent the last two years with Jeremiah, believing him to be her soulmate. But as their relationship deepens, doubts begin to creep in, especially with Conrad—the boy she has always loved and who has never quite gotten over letting her go. When Belly and Jeremiah decide they are ready to make their relationship permanent, Conrad realizes that he must act fast if he wants to win her back.
Belly is left facing the impossible choice of which boy to choose, knowing that whatever decision she makes will inevitably break someone’s heart. As she grapples with these intense emotions, Belly must also come to terms with her past and her future, realizing that love isn't always straightforward and that sometimes, it requires tough decisions.
The book explores themes of first love, heartbreak, and personal growth, as Belly navigates the complexities of growing up and facing the bittersweetness of ending one chapter of her life while preparing to start another.

Jenny Han’s writing draws readers in with her relatable characters, vivid descriptions of summer, and the emotional rollercoaster of young love. The series, which also inspired the Prime Video series, has become beloved for its nostalgic, poignant take on the relationships that shape our adolescence.

It’s a perfect conclusion to the trilogy that captures the bittersweet feeling of growing up and making life-changing decisions. If you love stories that delve into love, loss, and self-realization, this is a must-read.
