It's very rare that I prefer a show over a book, but honestly The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of those cases. Everyone in this book is just... insufferable. Probably realistic, because teenagers are generally awful s but still, it grated on me.
Steven came across as a total arsehole, though I think some of that was just big brother/little sister dynamics filtered through Belly's POV. Suzanna's constant hero-worship felt over the top, and Belly endlessly comparing her mum to her was frustrating.
The only one I really enjoyed was CamCameron - I am firmly Team Cam.
I don't think l'll continue the books series, but l'll happily stick to loving the show instead.
If I was 15 years old I probably would have loved it but I'm a bit too old for it now.
I found it to be boring and a little predictable with not much happening.

This is a re-read for me as I became obsessed with the show and wanted to finish the book series
I think it’s fun and cute but not a ton happens, the way the plot was reworked for season one is actually a lot better, I much prefer that Taylor was in the present scenes in the show rather than just flashbacks
