"Quick, easy read. Reminds me of teenage years and first loves gone by. Young girl caught between first love feelings for one brother and budding feelings for another brother. The setting of it, at a beach in a beautiful house, really sets the scene. The show on Prime really makes it come alive and although it deviates from the book, it definitely adds to it."

"I’m not a big reader, but i definitely enjoyed this book. The series is also SO SO good. There are some differences, but not any major plot differences. Conrad is definitely more likable in the show though."

"ok the end of this book was actually so sad?? I’ve wanted to read this forever before I watched the show and now I’m just sad. This was a quick read and I really liked it"

"Cute, easy read! Can easily finish in one day. I wish I read the book before I watched the series. But still enjoyed both very much."

"Reading this and then immediately watching the show after is the way to go. And before you ask, yes, that's exactly what I spent my entire day doing:)"

"I lovedddd this book! I was wanting to watch it, but I decided to read the books first since the books are 99.9% always better… I should have bought all 3 at once, because now I want to immediately start the second one "

"The books are quite different from the TV series. I loved this series!"

"I really enjoyed The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. I picked it up after watching the Prime series to see if the book was better, and honestly, they’re both very good. The book was a fast and entertaining read, and I loved following Belly’s summer at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. The mix of first love, self-discovery, and the complicated love triangle kept me hooked, while Susannah’s battle with cancer added a touching, emotional layer. Overall, it’s a sweet, heartfelt coming-of-age story that was definitely worth the read. "
