"It was maybe the most intimate thing anyone had ever done to me." Belly moves into the beach house at Cousins — where Conrad is also staying — after a fight with her mom, Laurel, in the third book. The decision creates the perfect opportunity for Belly and Conrad to spend a lot of time together as she prepares for her wedding with Jeremiah.  In an iconic scene from We'll Always Have Summer, the twosome stop at a fruit stand and Conrad wipes Belly's face with his shirt.

Overview
