ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han centers on Belly's annual summer at the beach house, a tradition shared with her mother, brother, and the close-knit Fisher family. This particular summer feels different as Belly experiences a sense of personal transformation. The narrative follows her as she navigates budding romantic feelings for the Fisher brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah, who have always been a significant part of her summers. The story explores themes of first love, the awkwardness and excitement of coming of age, and the enduring bonds of friendship and family against the backdrop of sun-drenched beach days.
