This series catapulted Han into the spotlight and solidified her as a prominent figure in the young adult literature genre. It has all of the drama, angst, nostalgia, romance, and youthfulness you want and expect from a Young Adult series.

The poignant exploration of growth, forgiveness, and the significance of finding one's own path make this concluding novel an emotional and satisfying finale of an unforgettable trilogy. This guide to The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy shares everything you need to know about New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han’s beloved coming-of-age young adult Summer romance book series set in the Summer. Upon reading this book, I didn’t initially like it as much as Han’s other popular book, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, but I still thought it was very good. The characters are adults, but barely, and a lot will likely continue to change in their lives in the next decade or two. The basic plot of The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy (also knows as “TSITP books”) is that young Isabel “Belly” Conklin and her family (including her mother, Laurel, and older brother, Steven) spend each Summer at the family home of her mother’s best friend, Susannah, along with Susannah’s sons, Conrad and Jeremiah, in the fictional Cousins Beach.However, the relationship is short-lived when Conrad once again slips back into his emotional old ways. Belly’s always had a crush on Susannah’s son, Conrad (the “bad boy”), and a friendship with her other son, Jeremiah (the “nice guy”).

The second book, It’s Not Summer Without You, picks up next Summer when Belly’s relationships with Conrad and Jeremiah are strained, and she is not looking forward to spending time at Cousins Beach.Born on September 3, 1980, in Richmond, Virginia, Han developed a love for writing from a young age. Registered office address: Unit 34 Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE5 3EF. With Han's evocative prose, readers are transported to a world filled with youthful innocence and the gentle whispers of first love. If you’re looking for a YA series to binge read, look no further than the ‘Summer Trilogy’ by Jenny Han.
