The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han is now a major TV series on Amazon Prime! Fans of The Kissing Booth and Jenny Han's beloved Netflix series, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, will absolutely adore this gorgeously funny and romantic story.

Every summer, Isabel, known to her friends and family as Belly, spends a perfect season at the Fischer family's beach house. Nestled by the sea, this idyllic location offers everything she could desire: a shimmering swimming pool, a private stretch of sandy beach, and moments of tranquility. But most importantly, it has Conrad and Jeremiah, the Fischer brothers, who have been a constant in her summers for as long as she can remember.

Conrad, with his brooding and distant demeanour, has always been the enigmatic boy Belly has loved from afar. On the other hand, Jeremiah, carefree and friendly, has always been her confidant, the one to make her laugh and feel cherished. This summer, however, things take an unexpected turn. For the first time, both boys seem to truly notice Belly in a way they never have before.

It is a summer of first loves, heartbreaks, and the poignant moments of growing up. Belly finds herself at a crossroads, navigating the complexities of coming of age, where friendships and romances intertwine and sometimes come apart. The love and lessons of this summer will shape her forever, making it a time she will never forget.

With its deeply emotional narrative, vivid descriptions, and relatable characters, The Summer I Turned Pretty beautifully captures the essence of youthful anticipation and the bittersweet beauty of summer. Jenny Han's eloquent storytelling will weave a spell around readers, transporting them to sun-soaked beaches and starry nights, making this a must-read for anyone who has ever fallen in love.
