Belly can’t wait until it is summer again and she can go to the beach house. All winter she is counting the days until it’s time to return to her perfect summer place, where she will also see Susannah and the boys again. She has known Jeremiah and Conrad since she was little and has spent her very first summer with them at Cousins. They have been everything between brother figures and summer crushes but this summer everything is different.
I must admit that I have watched the tv show before I read the first book but that did not spoil the story for me at all. „The summer I turned pretty“ is in my opinion the perfect example of a teenager summer love story. The characters are probably pretty immature, naive and a bit dramatic but who honestly expects anything else from a good YA story? The author has an amazing way of adding emotions to everything that is going on and therefore makes me enjoy this story even more. I could not put the book down at all. Honestly I could see a lot of myself as a teenager in Belly which made me like her even more. Don’t expect a deep literary masterpiece because then you will be disappointed. Take it as it is instead and you will find a fun, emotional summer lecture that reminds you of your own days as a teenager topped with an important lesson about family and loss
This book is the perfect summer YA love story with a lot of emotions and some important life lessons for every teenager.

Belly's happiest times are her summers at the beach house with her mother, brother, Conrad, Jeremiah and their mother, Susannah. The difference between previous summers and now is that (hint: the title) more than one boy is starting to take notice of her.

Belly's happiest times are her summers at the beach house with her mother, brother, Conrad, Jeremiah and their mother, Susannah. The difference between previous summers and now is that (hint: the title) more than one boy is starting to take notice of her.
When you see the title or read the synopsis, it doesn't really hint that there is more to the story than a summer vacation involving an unrequited love. There is a lot going on in the background that's only revealed in the last few chapters. Those chapters are the reason I want to know how the story continues.
I didn't understand why Belly loved summers so much, since it seems like the exact opposite most of the time. The only reason I got was Conrad. I found myself rooting for anybody, but Conrad because of his antisocial behavior until I found out the reason behind it. Then it all made sense and I felt guilty for thinking he's just another jerk with only hints of kindness now and again. That doesn't mean that he wasn't a jerk, just that it's the way he's dealing with the situation. Of course he could of handled it a little bit better like his brother Jeremiah, but Conrad is the type of guy that rarely shows any emotions and tries to completely ignore any deeper ones. Jeremiah was more likable with his funny ways and I'd hoped that Belly would fall for him. Now, I'm not so sure. I can't really picture her with Conrad or Jeremiah.
The ending of this book was unresolved and felt like the real beginning of the story for me. I hope to see the characters (Belly, Conrad & Jeremiah) mature in the next book.
