Book 1: The Summer I Turned
Pretty.
Book 2: It’s Not Summer Without
You.
Book 3: We’ll Always Have
Summer
I really
like the ending of this book because of how strong Isabel was. At first, Isabel
had to face many problems and hardships involving two boys; Conrad and Jeremiah
who are siblings. Three of them had been friends since they were little because
of their moms who have been best friends since they were young. Every year,
Isabel‘s family will go to Conrad and Jeremiah’s house for summer and they will
spend their holidays together. Conrad is Isabel’s crush while Jeremiah is her
closest friend and both of them share everything including their secrets together.
However, things started to get worst when Jeremiah started to realise his
feelings towards Isabel is not only as friends and Conrad who used to keep his
true feelings towards Isabel started to take Isabel back from Jeremiah before
Isabel started to stop loving him.
The three
of them had to face a lot of hardships. After Conrad and Jeremiah’s mother
passed away because of breast cancer, they had a broke down and Isabel had a
hard time to cheer them again as both of them loved their mother too much.
After they had started to moved on and enjoy their college lives, Jeremiah and
Isabel started to be in a relationship. Isabel tried to forget about Conrad who
rejected her for many times and she started to give up. Jeremiah who started to
realise his true feelings towards Isabel confessed to her and their
relationship lasted for few months only. During the night before Jeremiah and
Isabel’s wedding day, Conrad couldn’t take it anymore and he told Isabel his
true feelings. Conrad even told her to not marry Jeremiah and Isabel was
confused. She knew that deep inside her heart, she still loved Conrad but at
the same time, she couldn’t bear to break Jeremiah’s heart by ruining their
wedding day the day after that.
The next
day on their wedding day, Jeremiah realised Isabel’s weird attitude and she
even postponed their wedding for several hours so that she could think properly
about marrying Jeremiah. Jeremiah knew about the incident the night before when
Conrad confessed to Isabel about his feelings. Jeremiah knew that Isabel will
choose Conrad. Therefore, he had a big fight with Conrad. Susannah, Conrad and
Jeremiah’s mother had left a letter for Isabel, Conrad and Jeremiah each for
their wedding day. Unfortunately, Jeremiah took Conrad’s letter and after
reading it, he broke up with Isabel. Jeremiah knew that Isabel couldn’t love
him the same way as she loves Conrad and that’s why he decided to cancel their
wedding and broke up. Isabel read the content of the letter and she cried.
Right after
that, she knew who is the right person for her and for her future. Finally,
Isabel and Conrad got married and their relationship with Jeremiah had become
much more better. They stayed as good friends.
“This is
our start. This is the moment it becomes real. We are married. We are infinite.
Me and Conrad. The first boy I ever slow danced with, ever cried over. Ever
loved.” -Isabel-
