The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy: The Summer I Turned Pretty; It's Not Summer Without You; We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han

5.0

“It was a summer I would never, ever forget. It was the summer everything began. It was the summer I turned pretty. Because for the first time, I felt it. Pretty, I mean. Every summer up to this one, I believed it’d be different. Life would be different. And that summer, it finally was.”

I decided to review this as an entire series (but if you're wondering, the second book is my favorite out of all three) I love this story so much. I think about it everyday, it's like my perfect world to escape to. There's a definite association with "summer" and "first love", in my opinion.
I first read this when I was in middle school, and I feel like these people have grown inside of my head as I age through each year. It's my favorite "book" in this entire world and it's such a special thing that I still stand by that at almost 18, when I first read it at 13.

Belly is your perfect romantic who cherishes childhood as much as I do. I feel like she is so in touch with her younger self, and I can relate to that. I think my favorite books to read are always going to be those about growing up because, when it's written sweetly, it deems itself perfect in my mind.
