It’s Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han
Hello! My name is Tess. I love to ski, bike, fish, and get lost in my books.
After a tragedy that rocks both the Conklin and Fisher families, there will never be a complete summer for them. For the first time since Belly can remember she can’t go to the beach house. It seems that everything has gone wrong for her in such a short period of time. She doesn’t know what to do with herself anymore and is feeling less complete every day as she is reminded of what she has lost. Belly never thought she would have a normal summer because if she was having one that meant something had gone wrong, terribly wrong. Belly thinks she can’t live without what is gone but she soon learns that that part of her heart can never be replaced but it can be given love by another being struggling just like her.
Just when she thinks nothing can get worse, Conrad disappears. She follows trails that lead her to the beach house where she finds Conrad. Although he acts as if he’s been fine Belly convinces him to acknowledge that it is time to let go being the tough guy, even if that means shedding a tear. Once you open this book it will be hard to set it down until the end. Will Belly be able to give up yet another part of her heart or will that leave her even more broken?
