What do you miss from summers in your teen years? What do you not miss?
Belly spends her summer at Cousin’s Beach each year
with her mother, brother, mother’s best friend Susannah and Susannah’s two
sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. This novel goes
back and forth through Belly’s life in the summer as she grows up into a
teenager that is love with Conrad and sometimes Jeremiah. Will Belly end the summer finally noticed by Conrad?
The Summer I Turned Pretty is a coming-of-age story
and is a light read. Belly is a teenager
in this young adult novel, and as a teenager, she is sometimes annoying as she
tries to figure out what she wants in life.
It made me remember teenage years.
Having more time to have fun in the summer was great, although I started
working summers at the age of 12 so I didn’t have long summers on the beach
like this. It’s complicated being a teenager
and trying to figure out the social scene.
Belly has problems when she invites her best friend, and also when she
starts seeing a boy named Cam. I like
books set in the summer and coming of age novels. I’m interested to see what happens next in
this trilogy and I will be reading onward.
I’m also looking forward to the Amazon Prime series. It looks like it came out while I was on
vacation the past week and a half. My daughter
Penelope and I will be watching it!
Overall, The Summer I Turned Pretty is an entertaining
coming of age novel.
