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

3.0

This trilogy isn't horrible, but it wasn't good either, even for YA. I cannot tell if I'm biased due to age, or if it truly was a little too toxic for me. The emotion and immaturity are probably realistic due to their age, but Belly was incredibly annoying to me. She is emotional, disrespectful, and all over the place. In general, they just all needed to grow up and experience real life, but that's why the themes make sense for YA. I probably would've enjoyed it more as a teen myself. I wouldn't recommend, but definitely am open to discussions about it!
