The Summer I Turned Pretty is now a major new TV series on Amazon Prime!

From the author of Netflix’s smash-hit movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, this is the perfect funny summer romance for fans of The Kissing Booth and Holly Bourne.

One girl. Two boys. And the summer that changed everything . . .

Every year Isabel spends a perfect summer at her favourite place in the world – the Fisher family’s beach house. It has everything a girl could want: a swimming pool, a private stretch of sandy beach… and two (very cute) brothers:

Unavailable, aloof Conrad – who she’s been in love with forever
Friendly, relaxed Jeremiah- the only one who’s ever really paid her any attention.

But this year something is different. This year, the boys seem to really notice Isabel for the first time. It’s going to be an amazing summer – and one she’ll never forget . . .

‘This book has what every girl wants in a summer’ – Sarah Dessen, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Read the next instalments in The Summer I Turned Pretty Series: It’s Not Summer Without You and We’ll Always Have Summer by bestselling author Jenny Han.

At 14 I would have been dazzled by this coming of age novel. Sweet and nostalgic, the perfect title to get teenagers reading.

It’s is definitely a read by the pool book and I really enjoyed it. I am going to read the next two in the series.

I started the book and really got into it because the main character, Isabel, is just like me. This book is fiction but felt like it was real. My favourite character was Isabel because she is very kind and stands up for herself and for others. I would definitely recommend it because it has made me realise I don’t always have to say yes to my friends when they are pushing me to do things I don’t want to do.

This is a great book to read over the summer. It is a rommance with drama along the way and is a summer that every person would want in one .

Fans of the series will enjoy the extra detail and love for the characters.

My favourite character was probably Conrad as he was aloof but sometimes fun and kind. I would recommend it to someone who is looking for an amazing romance and is into love triangles!
