Belly only really lives in summer. Every summer Belly and her family go to her mom's Best friend Susannah's beach house to stay with her and her sons Jeremiah and Conrad. This summer is different though because Susannah is acting off and Jeremiah and Conrad are noticing Belly as more than just the little girl they grew up with.
This trilogy is filled with summer, family, friendship, and a love triangle and I couldn't get enough. I loved all the characters and felt for them. My heart broke a few times throughout the series, but it was totally worth it by the end. If you liked 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han, you might like this series by her.

I’ve read the trilogy before I’ve became a reader.It was different from the show but also that interesting.It took me way too long to read it bc of school but when i finish it i loved it and got motivated to read the other books.The worst thing i did was that i read the books when i already watched the show but it also made me imagine everything better.It was easy and funny to read

Love this trilogy so much. I’m team Conrad in the books and in the show. I laughed and I cried. I also was sorta lucky in the sense I read the books after the TV show came out because it made visualising the characters much easier!
I love what Jenny Han did with the books but I also love what she did with the show and anything she added in the show that wasn’t in the book, I just added it in myself memorising the scenes from the show!
Would definitely recommend!

When I needed some good summer reading, I randomly find this trilogy at Walmart but I may or may not have seen it at Barnes and Noble. I'm really glad I found it and read it because this trilogy was an absolutely beautiful coming of age story. A love triangle between a girl, her best friend and the best friend's brother; a love between two brothers and their dying mother and passionate love that has so much tragedy it can make someone cry. When I finished the trilogy, I had that sad feeling whenever I finish a really good book. I am definitely hooked on Jenny Han's writing style that I plan on reading her other books.

I read the first book and watched the prime series in one day, then the last two books over the course of the next few days.
The Summer I Turned Pretty:
Definitely team Conrad throughout the whole book, but I gotta say I liked the show more than the book, which is rare… it just brought SO much more depth to all the other characters that barely get any development in the book.
It’s Not Summer Without You:
Okay okay they got me, I was team Jeremiah during this book but ONLY because we aren’t given anything from Conrad’s POV like we are Jeremiah’s… it makes you believe that Conrad is being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk. But as much as I fell in love with Belly’s mom in the Prime show, I love her even more by the end of this book!
We’ll Always Have Summer:
The amount of times I had to remind myself of how old everyone is… too many to count! Gosh this book was so frustrating, not only did I lose respect for Jeremiah but also Belly. BUT Conrad is this books saving grace. You can see how much he’s grown through his POVs and completely understand his motives whether they had been communicated well or not.
All in all, a very good ending to their story! Can’t wait for the TV series to finish!
