Summary

Belly has an unforgettable summer in this stunning start to the Summer I Turned Pretty series from the New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (now a major motion picture!), Jenny Han.  

Some summers are just destined to be pretty.  

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Love the show, obsessed with the books!

Unfortunately I watched the series first (even though it was/is a great show) when I should have read the books first!

There is so much relatability in this and the raw love and passion is what kept me going! I am glad for how it ended but could’ve used a little more ‘spice’ 🌶️. But it is a teen book so get why not. Still loved every aspect of all three books and found it hard to put it down!

10/10 recommend ♥️

The Summer I Turned Pretty (Light)

I’ve come to this post two seasons on Amazon. Listened to it in a couple of sittings. It’s light and easy, but I do prefer the TV show. The show made me cry; there is so much depth and emotion. The book is like a pared back version. (I know the books came first!) It’s nice to hear the original story and I think I enjoyed it more because I was picturing the show throughout. It’s well written and pleasantly narrated, but the plot and characters seem thin.

The portray of summer

This series is magical. The way Jenny Han writes always amazes me, and the way she portrays summer through her writing is just incredible. There’s nothing like summer, and I think that was shown perfectly. Also, I loved that Lola Tung was narrating it!! It made it even more special! I love this series endlessly, and can’t wait to listen to book 2.

Listened in 2 sittings. Hooked and already purchased book 2

Reminded me of my childhood growing up at this age. Loved this book so much - just purchased book 2 ready. Was sorry to see the title come to an end but know I have the next installment as soon as I’m ready. This book is so worth getting and the narrator is just perfect for this kind of book. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Definetely recommend. Whatever you do,get this title next………………

Narration and Story

I really enjoyed Lola Tung as the narrator, she really allowed me to envision what was happening and picture Belly perfectly. Her voice is perfect for the narration of Belly and her inner monologue.
The story, as is typical with Jenny Han's work, was unmatchable. I enjoyed it the whole way through. Although it was slow and steady, I enjoyed it. It was perfect for winding down after a long day, a true romance story, a well done love triangle.

Love it!

Honestly, I’m not an OG fan. I watched the series, loved it and decided to listen to the books. Imagine my surprise the actress from the show narrated it. She did a wonderful job and the story is simply lovely.
