I have given The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han four out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The summer vibes were immaculate and Han’s writing transported me directly to the summer house where I wanted to bask in the sun and splash in the pool with Conrad, Jeremiah, Belly and Steven.
I watched the tv series before reading this book, which is unlike me but when you have a never ending TBR and are desperate to watch tv shows then sacrifices have to be made! I don’t know if my memory is clouded but I can’t remember Belly being as whiny in the tv show than she was in the book. I understand that we read flashbacks and that she’s presently fifteen (turning sixteen), however there were a lot of things that she did which made me look at her in a very immature light and it infuriated me at times.
Love triangles isn’t my favourite trope but I’m here for the Conrad and Jeremiah content.
I love Jenny Han and want to read everything she’s ever written!
A super fast, summery read which I did enjoy and look forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy!
