Why I Don't Like Belly in "We'll Always Have Summer" Please read. Very informative.

Okay. So. Why do I not like Belly in the third book?

Easy. Because of the way she treated Jeremiah. And. Because of the way she acted toward Conrad while she was with Jere.

Okay. So. We all know about Jeremiah "cheating" (this word is in quotations bc he didn't really cheat). But do we not remember all the dishonest and straight up just not okay things Belly did.

To understand why Belly is a jerk. We need to take it back to when Jere "cheated".

(I will be using quotes from the book).

Quote one: He got down on the floor next to me, his head hanging between his knees. “Belly, it was when we were on that break. When we were broken up.”

Her: Our so-called breakup had lasted all of a week. It wasn’t even a real breakup, not for me. I always assumed we would get back together.

Now let's fast forward to chapter five: (The first six words)... as follows: "When we broke up in April" and let's not forget about this: Before I could answer, before I could say, You’re not stupid or selfish or wasteful, before I could end the fight, Jeremiah said, “Fuck it. I won’t waste your time anymore. Let’s end it now.”

And I said, “Fine.” (hmm. sounds like your broken up to me).

And then there's this: I cried the whole way home. I couldn’t believe that we had broken up. And this: Steven said, “Chill out. The only reason he hasn’t called you is that it’s too expensive to make a call from Mexico. You guys will be back together by next week, guaranteed.” (this means that you would have to be broken up in order to get back together). Belly: Steven was right. We did get back together a week later. (like i said to get back together you would have to be broken up).

Okay. Now let's talk on Belly. And why she's dishonest and a jerk.

Example one. Comes straight from the book. This is Belly on Conrad: Because I really did believe he was coming. If I didn’t, would I have taken extra care with my hair that morning? In the shower, would I have shaved my legs not once but twice, just to be safe? Would I have put on that new dress and worn those heels that made my feet hurt if I truly didn’t believe he was coming? No. Deep down I more than believed it. I knew it.

I'M SORRY BUT WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS ABOUT YOUR FIANCEE'S BROTHER?!? YOUR FREAKING ENGAGED FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

And then who can forget this?: There was this moment between us then, of us just looking at each other, holding each other’s gaze. My breath quickened. If I leaned forward just a little, we would be kissing. I knew I should move away, but I couldn’t.

Or this: Conrad reached out and wiped my chin with his shirt. It was maybe the most intimate thing anyone had ever done to me. I felt light-headed, unsteady on my feet. I was shaking as I piled peaches into a plastic bag. Just one look, one touch from him, and I was shaking. It was madness. I was marrying his brother.

BUT JEREMIAH IS THE BAD PERSON? I'M SHOOK. I'M IN DISBELIEF!!!

LET ME STOP BEFORE I GET WORKED UP!
