Publisher Description
Book 2 in the bestselling The Summer I Turned Pretty series - now a major new TV show on Amazon Prime!
From the author of To All The Boys I've Loved Before (now a smash-hit Netflix movie), perfect for fans of The Kissing Booth, Rainbow Rowell and Holly Bourne.
When something is perfect, you hope it never ends.
Belly's long hot summers at the Fisher boys' beach house are over.
Conrad, the only boy she's ever loved, has left for college, taking her heart with him.
And Jeremiah, his younger brother, is still Belly's best friend - but maybe friendship isn't enough for him anymore.
But when Jeremiah calls and says that Conrad has disappeared, all roads seem to lead back to the summer house.
Will Belly spend another summer chasing after Conrad, or will she finally let him go?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this second book of the planned trilogy that began with The Summer I Turned Pretty, 16-year-old Belly Conklin feels displaced. Unlike years past, she won't be at the beach with her mother's best friend, Susannah, and Susannah's sons, Jeremiah and Conrad. This summer, I wasn't in Cousins. Conrad and I weren't together, and Susannah was dead. When Belly learns from Jeremiah that Conrad has disappeared, she immediately agrees to help; their search leads them to the beach house, where Conrad is hiding out. Belly's plaintive voice sometimes makes her sound too young, but Han realistically touches upon the characters' various reactions to grief Belly's mother becomes withdrawn, Conrad fiercely protects the house (his father wants to sell it), Belly has trouble processing the permanence of loss as well as Belly's emotional entanglements with the brothers (occasional chapters are told from Jeremiah's perspective, and Belly reflects on her failed romance with Conrad). Though the fate of the summer house is resolved a bit quickly, Belly's difficult relationship with her best friend and her standing with the boys hang in the balance, which should leave readers anxious for the final installment. Ages 12 up.

Fantastic
It's not summer without you is a really good book although i think that there is a book before this I didn't read so you have to get used to the characters,overall a really good book!
Amazing!!
Honestly the best books I’ve ever read. It only took me 4 days to read all and I don’t like reading… normally!! :)
A part two to a three part series
Good and easy read that I enjoyed from start to finish. However, left me unsatisfied as it ends without an ending. Feels like it’s forcing you to read the next instalment and not because you can’t put it down but because you have no closure with the story.
