I love some of Jenny Han’s other books and really enjoy the show The Summer I Turned Pretty, but I didn’t really like this book all that much. Amazon changed a few key points in the adaptation to a tv show, so I was expecting certain things to happen that didn’t, so I thought the book was a little boring and Belly just seemed like a brat, I had a hard time rooting for her.
