The Summer I Turned Pretty Complete Series (Books 1-3)

Product Information

Throughout the original book, both Jeremiah and Conrad struggle with the news that their parents are divorcing. In the show, though, it's not clear whether Laurel and the boys' father are separating. But she does clue viewers into the fact that her husband cheated on her throughout the first round of chemo. Conrad is obviously the better choice, but honestly, why would anyone like Belly? I'm confused on how these two guys are fighting over this fifteen year old child who can't take a joke. anyways, I think no one has chemistry with anyone. Conrad and Belly have much more chemistry than Jeremy and Belly but not much more and it annoys me to no ends. If you're gonna have a love triangle, at least make it complicated or make it so that there's chemistry with everyone. Overall, I'm honestly not even disappointed, I'm not even surprised. At least I just proved to myself that the show is so much better.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of young love, self-discovery, and bittersweet moments with the remarkable Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han. This captivating series, consisting of three beautifully written novels, will transport you to the sun-kissed beaches and emotional rollercoasters of Belly Conklin's transformative journey through summers filled with love, friendship, and heartache. Spoilers: The Fisher brother Belly chooses to spend the rest of her life with is revealed in the epilogue of the last book. She and Jeremiah had broken off her engagement, and she stayed in touch with Conrad only by letter. Laurel Conklin and Susannah Fisher have been best friends since childhood, and now spend summers together with their children. Susannah has two teenage sons: Conrad, the eldest, is about to attend his freshman year of college, and Jeremiah is still in high school. The Fisher boys have been a source of friendship and fascination for Belly for as long as she can remember, and she’s been harboring a crush on Conrad for years. Both families have faced challenges; Susannah had cancer, and the Conklins recently divorced.The Summer I Turned Pretty books, which were originally released between 2009 and 2011, follow the complicated love life of Isabel “Belly” Conklin when she overgoes a transformation from awkward tween to blossoming beauty. Every summer, Belly, her mom, and her big brother Steven head to Cousins Beach to spend the season with her mom’s best friend and her two oh-so-handsome sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. But this summer is different. Conrad, Belly’s longtime crush, seems to finally feel the same way about her… just as Jeremiah also starts to see Belly as someone more than Steven’s little sister. It’s a love triangle that makes this summer, one Belly will never forget.

So well spoken, so unique, so original, AMEN BROTHER. No scene has truly ever frightened me so much, to the point where I just had to wrench this book out of my own hands and go take ten minutes' breather in the bathroom. But since this review isn't marked with SPOILER, I'll just say that you will have to stop and re-read a few times what has actually happened at this 90-degree-climax. There are some things I absolutely ADORED about Belly. She was so realistic in the sense that I felt she was RIGHT IN MY HEAD. Like, seriously, like honestly, like LEGIT: At the beginning of the book, Belly, Conrad, and Steven are teenagers. As they become adults, they start exploring love and other life issues. Mr. Fisher: A man who is known to have his way no matter what it costs or who it hurts. He is Susannah's husband and the father of Conrad and Jeremiah. After Susannah dies, he turns to whiskey. He drives Conrad away after Conrad saw how badly he began treating Susannah, such as cheating on her and running away when she got cancer. He tries to sell the summer house in It's Not Summer Without You following Susannah's death, and is barely stopped in time by Laurel and Conrad. In the final book, he tries to mend his relationship with his sons and pays for Jeremiah and Belly's wedding, despite not agreeing with them getting married at such a young age. The show and book are two such incredibly different things that it seems like the show tries to fix the many, many issues that this book has, and I find that very funny. The show managed to have more plot than the books do, which is very rare for a show to do.a b c Alvar, Natasha (July 17, 2023). "The Summer I Turned Pretty: Season 2 REVIEW – A Bittersweet Summer". Cultured Vultures . Retrieved August 16, 2023. I'll just start off this rant review by saying that younger me would have eaten this up. Younger me who didn't care about characters or plot, younger me who just cared about the entertainment value. But even then, the entertainment value was low. Abby Cavenaugh of Collider noted "though at some points, the love triangle — or quadrangle, with Cam included — can feel a bit forced, overall this story works on many levels. You grow to really care about these characters and want to see them happy," adding "Belly is the star of the show, and Tung sells every moment of it with her luminous performance."
