All of that love and pride I had in him, it turned to hate. And then I started to hate myself, who he’d made me. . . That scared me. I didn’t want to be the kind of man who cheated on his wife. I didn’t want to be the kind of man who put work before his family, who tipped cheaply at restaurants, who never bothered to learn our housekeeper’s name. Telling both their families about their marriage plans will be a challenge, so they decide to break the news to everyone simultaneously at a dedication event honoring Susannah. When she was alive, Susannah was a key supporter for an abused women’s shelter, and the shelter is planting a garden in her honor.

I looked over at Conrad, and he said in a low voice, to no one in particular, ‘Laurel is amazing.’ I’d never heard anyone describe my mom that way, especially not Conrad. I’d never thought of her as ‘amazing.’ But in that moment, she was. She truly was.” Sometimes I wondered if we had rushed into getting married because we were both trying to pivot something to the other and maybe even to ourselves. But then I think no, we truly did love each other. We truly did have the best of intentions. It, we, just weren’t meant to be.” (pg. 287)

Just when Isabel thinks she had everything mapped out, life proves that when it comes to love, you can never have all the answers . . . Also, Belly had so much pressure on her to plan this entire wedding and Jeremiah was absolutely no help. I love Jere, don’t get me wrong, but Belly had a strained relationship with her mother, her fiancé cheated on her before he was her fiancé, she was living her the guy she used to love, and now she had to plan a wedding practically by herself when she had no clue what she was doing. She was barley eighteen! Summary 2: Belly has only ever been in love with two boys, both with the last name Fisher. And after being with Jeremiah for the last two years, she’s almost positive he is her soul mate. Almost. We can tell a lot about a person by the company she keeps. In We’ll Always Have Summer, we’re introduced to Belly’s friendship with Anika, in addition to her ongoing friendship with Taylor. How are the friendships similar? How are they different? What roles do Taylor and Anika play, respectively, in Belly’s life, at the time when the novel takes place? Looking up from her notebook, Anika said, “Maybe if you stopped texting and started studying, you wouldn’t.”

Because marrying Jere after he cheated and broke her heart wasn’t going to fix the fact that he cheated and he broke her heart 👏🏼!!!!!

No, I was just trying to give you a hint. Because in Latin boys’ names end in -us and girls’ names end in -a, and anima is feminine archetype and animus is masculine archetype. Get it?” I mean, I like Jere and I always will, but it was so hard not to be angry at his character because I really don’t condone cheaters. I absolutely do not tolerate if a person cheats and Jere was testing me. But gosh, he broke her heart and her trust. Those are two of the most painful things to break.
