Belly’s never been the kind of girl that things happen to. Year after year, she’s spent her summers at the beach house with Conrad and Jeremiah. The boys never noticed Belly noticing them. And every summer she hoped it would be different. This time, it was. But the summer Belly turned pretty was the summer that changed everything. For better, and for worse.

Readable but ultimately disappointing due to a chicken-shit ending and lack of character development.

Moments, when lost, can't be found again. They're just gone.

It was okay but it was a nice read by the beach! Short chapters which I really like and it was very easy to read. Just didn't like some of the decisions made by Belly and it was sometimes a bit boring. Some likeable characters.
