“The Summer I Turned Pretty” by Jenny Han is all about growing up and love. Belly Conklin spends her summers at Cousins Beach with her family and their friends, the Fishers. She loves everything about the beach and the people there.
As Belly tries to figure out her feelings for both brothers, she also deals with other stuff that comes with being a teenager—like friendships, family problems, and learning more about herself. This summer becomes a big moment for Belly as she starts to see herself and her relationships differently.
The story is all about the excitement of summer and the feelings of first love. It’s a simple and sweet story that anyone who remembers their first crush will enjoy.
