In this melancholy sequel to The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly faces a breakup with longtime crush Conrad and the death of Conrad's mother. While appealing Belly remains the central voice, Conrad's kind-hearted brother, Jeremiah, occasionally narrates, revealing his secret feelings for Belly. The heightened emotions surrounding the love triangle keep readers guessing which brother gets the girl until the very end.
