<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Belly has spent her summers at the beach house with Conrad and Jeremiah, who had never noticed her noticing them. Every summer Belly hoped it would be different. This time, it is. The summer that Belly turns pretty is the summer that changes everything--for better and for worse. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Belly has an unforgettable summer in this stunning start to the Summer I Turned Pretty series from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>To All the Boys I've Loved Before</i> (now a major motion picture!), Jenny Han.</b> <p/><i>Some summers are just destined to be pretty.</i> <p/>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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <i>The Summer I Turned Pretty</i> offers a hard-to-resist combination -- a beach house, summer love, enduring friendship. A deliciously sweet read. -- Deb Caletti, author of <i>Honey, Baby, Sweetheart</i> and <i>Wild Roses</i> </br></br>Belly's dawning awareness of her sexuality and that of the boys is a strong theme, as is the sense of summer as a separate and reflective time and place. Readers get glimpses of kisses on the beach, her best friend's flirtations during one summer's visit, a first date. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> </br></br>If I could live inside this amazing book, I would. I would inhale the ocean air and soak up the sun, and I would hang out all day with kind-wonderful-funny-awkward Belly and her two known-'em-forever buds, Jeremiah and Conrad. I'd watch the three of them stop being kids and start being more...and I'd hope hope hope that when Belly falls in love -- 'cause you know she will -- she'd give her heart to the exact right boy. -- Lauren Myracle, author of the ttyl series and <i>Bliss</i> </br></br>This book has what every girl wants in a summer. -- Sarah Dessen, author of <i>Just Listen</i> and <i>Lock and Key</i> </br></br>This well-written coming-of-age story introduces 15-year-old Isabel, aka Belly, for whom summer has always been the most important time of year. Han (Shug) realistically balances Belly's naïveté with her awareness of the changes the years have brought. Han's novel offers plenty of summertime drama. -- Starred review from <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Jenny Han is the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the To All the Boys I've Loved Before<i> </i>series, now Netflix movies.
