What We'll Always Have Summer is about
Two summers ago, Conrad told Belly to choose Jeremiah, and she did. Since then the two have barely been apart, and they now share a college campus. But the life Belly pictured has not come together the way she hoped. Jeremiah makes the worst mistake a boy can make, and it leaves her doubting what she took for true love and whether a future with him is possible at all. It also stirs an older question she thought was settled: did she ever really move on from Conrad? Jenny Han's 2011 novel follows Belly as she works toward an answer about whom her heart truly belongs to. It is a story about love, betrayal and the weight of choosing, and it suits readers who have followed this triangle from the start.
