The Summer I Turned Pretty (Summer #1)
What a perfect summer beach read! Belly is 15 about to turn 16 and spends every summer at the beach with her moms family friend, who has two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad. The complicated relationships there are the focus of the book. Belly has had a crush on older son Conrad since forever, but hes two years older and mostly sees her as pretty annoying. And in all fairness, Belly is definitely the least mature of the group, but then shes also the youngest. Can we blame a guy going into college in
Awe, this was a great book! Very relatable and surprisingly heart breaking. There's just something about ocean air and summer days that make growing up easier. I loved this story.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.Specify Books Conducive To The Summer I Turned Pretty (Summer #1)

2.5-3 stars A very cute beach read. I only read this because I loved Han's TATBILB series and wanted to read more by her. This book is VERY different from her others. Also placed in 2009 I feel there's a few things in this book that was "okay" for that time but very much not okay to say now. First off the use of the word retarded. Not okay. Second the main character pushed a guy to do something with her and when he didn't want to, her response (in her head) was "are you gay?". Ehhhhhhhhh no.What a perfect summer beach read!
