The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy

"Hmmmm not my fav. I would skip this and watch the show on Amazon Prime. It’s a lot better. The kids is less immature and the parents got a stronger B-line. Read this if yur a teen(:"

"My final reread from the series and my final ‘more than you asked for’ in depth review for the final installment of The Summer I Turned Pretty series. I am going to start off by saying that I do not understand how the author was able to build up such a loving and supportive character over the first two books, only to have him turn into a completely different and unrecognizable human in the third and final book. Although it was hard to wrap my mind around how the author ignores all of the character development of Belly, Conrad, and Jere, I did enjoy reading how the story ends. Without giving too much away, Belly and Jeremiah are in college together and have been dating since the end of the second book. They seem to be a happy couple, but they still struggle to communicate to each other what they are feeling in the moment. Young love has its challenges and obstacles, but Jere and Belly start to face some pretty big scenarios that need to be addressed, and instead of communicating with each other, they choose to sweep their issues under the rug and discuss the idea of getting married in a few short months. When they share the news, it goes exactly how you’d picture breaking the news to their families. You follow both Belly and Jeremiah while they try to navigate wedding planning while still in college and without the support of their families and friends. I did really enjoy the series, but overall, I felt let down by the final book. Overall, I do recommend reading the books. Although personally I am not a fan of how the story was concluded, I think it is necessary to read the final book in order to receive some sort of closure and answers to the questions you otherwise would be left asking yourself at the end of book 2."

"Love these books, really helped me grow in self-confidence and really appreciating the way I look "

"So far the show has been better. In the book I found Belly far more irritating and immature. The whole thing with Suzanna being sick/dead tugged at my heart and is what kept me reading"

"Cutesy little beach reads. The last book was probably my least favorite if I’m honest but overall a fast trilogy! "

"I enjoyed this book however I think I ruined it for my self by watching the show first. Although the book had so much more detail, I felt it was drastically different from the show and my expectations weren’t met. I would have liked to have more Steven in the book, however it was a good, light read. I will be starting the second book of the series soon! "

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! okay i have to say… i’m team conrad ALL THE WAYYYY!! ugh i love him sm. also reading this before watching the tv show was amazing, and i love both. it is such an amazing romance and some of the quotes KILL. ME. i just love love LOVE this book <33333"

"Read this series for the second time around, the first one was already a couple years ago… but how do I not regret getting back into it ! Jenny Han has a way or portraying this story that gets me right back to feeling like I’m 15 years old again and I’m living for it. I think single soul can recognize themselves in belly and the feeling of our first love/crush. Will probably revisit it again sometime in the futur. I think it’s will always be part of my feel good books. "

"First book from the series of 3. Doesn’t seem to have great review "

"I liked this trilogy but I did like the show a little more. #teamconrad "
