Forgiven, but not forgotten – and not when the boy in question is your first serious, *serious* boyfriend whom you picked colleges with and have known your whole life. once that ring is on her finger, all is forgotten. Belly doesn’t even think about his betrayal, nor discuss it with her friends. and, really, Jeremiah’s infidelity is hardly touched upon again. She is adamant on leaving him, and disgusted at their tainted love.īut when Jeremiah apologizes and proposes marriage (practically in the same breath) Belly is quick to forgive and put the past behind them. When she learns that ‘hook-up’ is college-speak for ‘sex’, Belly’s heartache is ten-fold. When she discovers Jeremiah’s infidelity (via an overheard confession from the scarlet woman) she initially assumes his ‘hook-up’ was a kiss.

The first, and most annoying, was Belly’s seemingly stilted personal growth. Belly has managed to run from her torn-in-two love for the Fisher boys, but an impending marriage to one of them stirs up old feelings for the boy she always thought she’d end up with. But when she arrives at the summer house, she discovers a live-in resident in the form of Conrad, home from California and his premed studies. But her mother’s adamant disappointment in the whole affair is a tragedy, and Belly escape to Susannah’s summer house to finish planning her wedding (with just two months preparation before the big day!). At the tender age of eighteen, Belly decides to marry Jeremiah Fisher and start a life with him. What follows is an appalling marriage proposal (on the back of an apology over a meaningless and regrettable one-night-stand). Jeremiah does something not unusual, but still heartbreaking and disappointing. I wanted this finale to go out on an explosive BANG – instead I got lukewarm and slight disgruntlement with this, the final installment to a wonderful contemporary romance series. ‘We’ll Always Have Summer’ is the final book in Jenny Han’s wonderful ‘Summer’ trilogy. A proposal on the back of an apology, and suddenly Belly finds herself growing up faster than she may be ready. Two perfect years of contentment and love, spent at the same university and heading in the same, permanent, direction.īut when that love is tested by a hurtful mistake, Jeremiah takes drastic measures to keep Belly. They have been together for two years now.

But Jeremiah – he was always there, and Belly finally realized that.

Conrad didn’t want her, may never have loved her, despite her ages-old devotion to him. ** MAJOR SPOILERS of ‘We’ll Always Have Summer’ **īelly made her choice, and she chose Jeremiah.
