The Summer I Turned Pretty- Series Review ( By Jenny Han)

To start my summer I took out about 17 books from my library, and the book The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han was one of the first ones that I picked up to start my cottage reading. This book, my oh my was not what I expected it to be. Usually, for cottage reading I try to pick up easy reads; fluffy, simple plotted books, and judging by the name The Summer I Turned Pretty I was not expecting much from this book. I mean, thats not really a name for a book that crushes your heart.

Nevertheless, I couldn't put this book down. I devoured this book. It was like nothing i've ever read, and I finished- yes the entire trilogy of these books in less than 24 hours- yes friends, i'm obsessed. 

This is one of the books that you have to read for yourself to find out how emotional it is. This book centres around a girl- Belly, who goes to the same beach house, every summer for her entire life. She goes with her mom and her brother, Steven. They go to this beach house with her moms best friend, and her two sons Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. Belly, has grown up with these boys and has loved Conrad for as long as she can remember, but Conrad is two years older than her so he treated her like a child. This summer, is the summer where Belly has finally acquired enough confidence to go after Conrad, and hope that he sees her that way.This book doesn't stop just there- We are forced not just into a love triangle- but a love square??? 

I found the first book, enticing and couldn't put it down and the same with the other two books. I've even forced my mom to read them. I am by NO MEANS, a hopeless romantic and I enjoyed these books. It is not only about Belly's relationship with the boys, but the book goes through friendships and family just as much. Lastly, don't think you're weird if you fall in love with at least one of the Fisher boys after reading these books- you're not the only one.
