Pleasantly surprised this set is as nice as it is when it arrived. I you're an old schooler who likes to have the actual book for travel and such, this works well.
Bought book set for my daughter. She watched the first season on tv. She has enjoyed starting the first book and liked the additional info in the first book. She really wanted the other books since the series is not out yet for her to watch yet.
This book was very interesting to read. I loved the vocabulary that she uses, the cover, and the cliffhangers! I can also relate to this part of the story where every summer going to the beach house means home, just like how every year I go to my country and it feels like home there too! Overall, I loved these books and finding more about Belly's summers and what happens, who she's chooses (Conrad or Jeremiah), and more!
Wish I would have read the book first before watching the show. Such a good read.
I purchased these books for a new reader. The set came packaged so cute with the 3 book series.
Loved these books! Flew through them. Such an easy read. Perfect for a beach trip
I bought this after watching the show and I am obsessed with it!! This series is so good and I can't wait for season three to come out!
This is a great book trilogy if you are looking for a good series. The box set is priced really reasonable and came in a timely manner. The trilogy helps explain and show the changes that happen from childhood to young adulthood. It deals with real life headache like break ups, cancer, and betrayal. I recommend this book trilogy for anyone looking for a new series to read.
