It's Not Summer without You

It's Not Summer without You
By Jenny Han
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2010. 275 pgs. Young Adult

In the sequel to The Summer I Turned Pretty, Susannah has passed away, leaving Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah to deal with the loss. Her relationship with Conrad having crashed and burned, Belly has become somewhat distant from both of the brothers. But when Conrad disappears, Jeremiah enlists Belly's help to find him.

While I like Jenny Han's writing style, I did not enjoy this book as much as the first. The ending was ambiguous and might be disappointing to some readers.
