What this book is about
Isabel 'Belly' Conklin has spent every summer of her life at Cousins Beach with the Fisher family — Susannah and her sons Conrad and Jeremiah. This summer, everything shifts: she's older, the boys notice her, and something in the summer itself feels fragile. The Summer I Turned Pretty is the first of Jenny Han's beloved summer trilogy — a coming-of-age romance that became a Prime Video series.
