Are There More Books Like The Summer I Turned Pretty?It was bording on obsession actually, she came across as pathetic. And she complained about EVERYTHING, that the boys wouldn't play with her, that the boys weren't paying her attention, that her bestfriend was getting more attention than her, yadda yadda... One day Conrad goes missing, and Jeremiah calls Belly to help him search for his brother. The three reunite in the Cousins Beach house, full of memories and nostalgia. The three spend time together filled with both fun and angst, and the love triangle pushes and pulls in more complex ways as they mature and manage more complex life issues. The story centers on Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her family, her mother, Laurel, and her older brother Steven. Since the internet is full of people with opinions, though, I clarify that I have nothing against Jenny Han and I’m very grateful for her contribution to modern literature.

The story follows Isabel "Belly" Conklin, who is about to turn sixteen, as she and her family reunite with Susannah Fisher and her two sons, Jeremiah and Conrad (the latter of which Belly has had a crush on since she was ten).

Susannah and Laurel take Belly shopping for debutante dresses. Belly attends her first debutante tea and meets her fellow debs, including Shayla, a wealthy socialite. Belly also discovers that Nicole is her big sister for the season. Cam asks Belly on a date to the drive-in movie theater. At Laurel's book signing, Laurel reencounters Cleveland Castillo, a fellow author she accidentally insulted. He tells her his next book is about sailing, about which he knows little, and she recommends he ask Conrad for lessons. Bored of the bookstore party, Conrad has the idea for the boys to crash Belly's date. She furiously sends them away. Cam drives her home and they kiss again. Steven sneaks out to hook up with Shayla on the beach. She asks him to be her date to the deb ball. Belly and Conrad argue about him showing up at the drive-in; he calls her immature and vain, and she accuses him of playing with her feelings. She’s only been in love twice in her life, with Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. But this summer, she has to make the final decision. Things had been weird with me and Conrad and also with me and Jeremiah-an impossible thought crept its way into my head. Was it possible they didn't want me with Came? Because THEY, like, had feelings for me?" I love how Jenny Han seems to remember how teenagers act, because by putting that single unnecessary "like" into the sentence truly, legit, won me over. I had no idea how poetic daily teen slang could have been.
