I’ve waited years for The Summer I Turned Pretty to be adapted. Every year, I buy a new copy of the book, I reread it, I annotate it. The Summer I Turned Pretty is one of my favorite books ever, because it reminds me of the innocence of growing up, first loves and first heart breaks, and figuring out who we are.
It reminds me of that one summer in my past that I thought I would want to forget, but never could.
The Summer I Turned Pretty, is a new series on Prime Video is based on the New York Times bestselling book by Jenny Han. Every summer, Belly and her family head to the Fishers’ beach house in Cousins. Every summer is the same… until Belly turns sixteen. Relationships will be tested, painful truths will be revealed, and Belly will be forever changed. It’s a summer of first love, first heartbreak and growing up — it’s the summer she turns pretty.
